Eimer Birkbeck

Written by

My practise shifts between processes and methodologies of capturing and composition that arise from my relationship to the immediate environment and our experience of place and memory through sound.

The microphone as my tool, acts as a sonic barometer, to record the aural world from the peripheral edges to the core of the acoustic environment.
Through creating images for the ear, I will focus on the mysterious qualities of human communication, the questions raised by the linguistic confrontations that occur within the public spaces of social architecture, and the power of human communication represented by the voice taken out of its visual context.

Music For The Williamson Tunnels:  A Collection Of The Sound Of Dripping Water Double CD, which was compiled by Alan Dunn and Jeff Young 

Introduction to the CD 

As Brian Eno made music for environments rather than from them (Music For Airports) these CDs are best listened to within the strange damp world of the Williamson Tunnels in Liverpool. The ceilings of these caverns are thin and the sound of dripping water can frequently be heard, but not necessarily seen. It is a sound that has intrigued artists for nigh on a century and this collection brings together historical pieces alongside new compositions from artists who have expanded that first single drip.

Daz Disley

Written by

Daz Diamond

Musician & sound-engineer, daz's vst plugins are used throughout this, the first of his looped based contributions - a new piece made up from works previously played on the show. A collusion of neo-conCRET[inism], sampling, manipulation and general chaos. He's also the series producer, by the way.

Badly Worn Toy

Written by

Badly worn 

Mr Badly Worn is a Sound Engineer, Musician, Experimentalist and a fully paid-up member of the Frying Pan Collective : ambient recordings & noises are sampled, and heavily processing then often deleted, so expect the sounds of various recording technologies being thoroughly abused in a very musical manner.

Dawn Scarfe

Written by

Dawn

Dawn is a visual artist and composer. Her work explores the interplay between sound, space, movement and material. 53 of her 57 minutes is a work for 24 differently pitched wine glasses. The composition is based on a 'change ringing' system, as practiced by bell ringers. Following that there is a 4 minute improvisation on guitar seeking a range of harmonics produced by the strings. The final minute is a collection of different location recordings roughly cut together to investigate how the environment acts as a resonator or filter, like the body of an acoustic instrument, shaping the sound passing through it.

A lore unto himself, Mr Suzuki, although primarily a top-notch drummer, is a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, producer and exceptional (experi)mentalist. A skilled listener with a passion for the unusual, Suzuki goes in diverse directions, not afraid to blend nastiness with beauty, complexity with ambience.
