Undercover 3 > Undercover 3 [MP3 sound file]
My father worked in communications in the RAF, listening to the Russians listening to the Americans. I grew up surrounded by radios and Morse Code. This work eavedrops on my past. I used my telephone answering machine during one week, a thunderstorm, radio, sonar, Morse Code and mobile phones. This piece won joint first prize at the Oriel Davies Open 2006.

Sea Shifters > Sea Shifters [MP3 sound file]
This piece was made using rain/storms/a central heating system/answering machines and telephones etc. The microphone picks up everything and is not as discriminating as the eye. The microphone behaves almost like a God. Hears all. I like to create oreder out of chaos. I will often reduce something to ruins just so that I can rebuild it better. After the Tsunami we all felt powerless. There were helplines people could call for help and support. Acute discrimination has enabled me to extract what I need to form the most ideal conclusion. Please hang up and try again. This piece won the Callaghan Fine Art Prize at The Shrewsbury Whittingham Riddle 2005.

These sound files can be played direct from the website and should open easily in your default media player.
