I had two sound works featured on Radiophrenia (www.radiophrenia.scot) in April 2015. ‘Monkey Chimes‘ featured spoken word followed by the guttural sounds of Howler Monkeys, that I recorded in Mexico last year during a Clipperton Project expedition. The transmissions were timed to synchronise with dawn and dusk in Mexico when the Howler Monkeys make their calls. On Thursday 16th April between 2:10pm-2:30pm I was interviewed by Mark Vernon about my seismic sounds piece ‘Beneath and Beyond’. I also performed a live spoken word piece with accompanying live seismic sounds.  read more →
