A collaborative project between myself and Dot Howard, kindly supported by an's New Collaborations Bursary. We have formed a new collective for artists making site-responsive or durational work, including sound. We're based in Norwich and looking for members. Visit http://otherotherother.wordpress.com for updates on events, or email us on otherotherother (at) live.com.

A sound artist interested in perception; how sound can be used to describe location/space, and also to disorientate. Spatial work with binaural mics, and micro work with contact mics...

Dot Howard, Michael Ridge and I performed ‘Longwinded in Five Parts’ at the SPILL Festival National Platform (National Theatre Studios) on 18th April 2009. Here’s a review by Eleanor Hadley Kershaw (http://www.spilloverspill.blogspot.com/):

We heard on the 11th that we had been awarded our Arts Council grant for the Live East project! It's brilliant news because all the artists and venues have been so supportive over the last few months, willingly planning dates, so it is nice to be able to finally confirm everything. We have ten artists (over nine performances), ranging from sonic interventions in Norwich Castle Cafe to an eleven-hour stand-up marathon at the Hotel White Feather in Great Yarmouth. The festival launches at 1pm on Saturday 13th June (Norwich Arts Centre) with an introductory talk, followed by my performance 'Crowd Dispersal'. The rest of the afternoon will be filled with small-scale performances from other/other/other artists (around the whole venue), testing out ideas and talking to the public. Please come along to pick up a map of all the other events in the festival.
The festival runs from Saturday 13th June to Sunday 19th July.

So, all of the performances have now happened, and we are compiling the documentation. Photos, sounds and videos are added to the website as soon as the artists have sent them in, so please keep checking: www.liveeast.co.uk.
The closing event is at Colchester Arts Centre on Sunday 19th July 1-4pm, and is FREE! Come along to hear the artists' feedback discussions (and join in if you like), and see the documentation.
Apart from a few (major) issues with public transport in the region, the whole festival has been a great success, and we are certainly thinking about planning another for next year...

The Live East closing event was a great success: all the artists had around 20 minutes each to present documentation and discuss their pieces, with questions and comments thrown in by the audience. Everyone said that they'd found the project valuable, mainly because they'd had time to develop their own practices and explore interesting places. I will eventually type up all the scribbled notes I made throughout the talk, but for now I will just put up a picture of the event, with Vicki Weitz's interactive documentation where she made the audience build an elephant in 10 minutes...
