My First real attempt at song writing. 

I performed this at our local Folk Club's, Zoom meeting.

"Late" played on BCB Radio

It was great to have one on my SoundArt tracks, "Late", picked up and played on Bradford's BCB Radio.

"Late" featured found sounds that I recorded in a woolen Mill, synthesizer and voice tracks and was played on 27th April at 19:05 by Claire Kearns on the Sound Art Show alongside other artists with more of an International reputation. It was quite a buzz hearing my work played by other presenters and in such illustrious company.

You can hear "Late" on Soundcloud;      https://soundcloud.com/silvershred/late  

BCB Radio is on 106.6 FM in the Bradford area as well as on the internet;   http://www.bcbradio.co.uk/schedule/

Dronebeat SoundArt

Fleeting Glimpses of Human presence imposed on a Natural environment.

As a background Sound piece to the multi media, Deeping Lakes project, I have been working on a Drone with a beat. On top of this will be layered images and Natural Sounds.

The Sounds add texture and colour to the project as a whole and depict the Human interaction with a Natural environment. One is as Natural as the other. Electronic Sounds are as real as the sound waves formed by the wind.

The SoundCloud track is a considerably shorter version of the original which runs for 15 minutesl.

The Twitcher

Winter has arrived and the Painting part of the Studio is colder than usual and not so inviting. So I thought it time to start working on some of the Sound Modules that will be part of The Deeping Lakes Project that I am working on.

During a recent visit to The Lakes I met this wonderful chap thoroughly enjoying the Countryside and wildlife in it. Meeting such passionate people is part of what makes life so worthwhile.

You can hear this module for the Deeping Lakes Soundscape Project on Soundcloud by following the link below.

It was not me

I was working on some rhythms for a different track and they were just not working so put them on hold. Later, they immediately sprung into my mind as soon as I started to work on this idea.

I guess that all of my old anxieties and insecurities are being exorcised by these, rather manic, series of works.

Fleeting Glimpses

I have just finished the bulk of the photography for a new, multimedia, SoundArt project that I have been planning for some time.

The project as a whole is based on my impressions of the Deeping Lakes near Spalding, and will incorporate still photographs, Paintings, Sound recordings and Video. It will underpin my philosophy of being an observer who is just passing through, part of the fluidity and fleeting nature of the Universe.

This work will be a major undertaking that will be the culmination of many smaller, single media, projects that I am currently engaged upon and, as yet, can not hazard a guess as to the estimated completion date.

While attending a RadioArts workshop in Margate's Turner Contemporary Gallery, I managed to record a few sounds of the Sea and with some other recordings that I have collected over the years, a morse oscillator and key, put together a piece to accompany some words that wrote a few months ago.

Some projects happen quickly but this one has been simmering on the back boiler for some time.
