Yeah I think my process is pretty simple, I’m have a technical background so I like to understand what I see as for tools of various levels of complexity. I like to play with them to try and build what I can hear or see in my mind. For me the fun is in making the thing and watching people use whatever I’ve made.
Your artistic production is very connected to the life of your city, telling us about an ever-changing London that seems to exist as two parallel universes: the city and the underground. It seems that the second one is what inspires your work, and your music seems to act as its soundtrack; how will you describe the role of music in today’s and tomorrow’s society?
Yeah your are absolutely right, my work is really a representation of the architecture of that second city – which is often temporal in its reality. I guess a lot of my work across mediums is about reconstructing those moments or the memories of them so the second city stays alive and it’s value is recognised. I think music and musical rituals are the foundation of this second city or parallel world. Sound is so emotive and music is to me beyond normal economic or political activity. It is older and more visceral then the laws we write or the customs we observe. as such musical ritual can inform idealised codes of political activity by linking all of us to our true selves.
In the art and music scene, is there any artist that particularly inspires you, or that you feel is akin to your sensibility? And if you had the opportunity to collaborate on a project, who would you be most interested in working with?
I think I’ve been really lucky to work with so many amazing people. I’d love to work with goodie someday.
Finally, is there anything you feel like sharing with us about what you are working on for the upcoming future? Are you focusing on any particular project?
I have a lot of new music and installation work coming out this year so I think it’s gonna be pretty intense. I’ve been away for a while, I’m coming back to set the pace !
