SOUND ART
I met the Sound Artist Daniel Bryden (Days Like Television) in 2019, and we have been collaborating ever since. I have had the honour of frequently integrating his work within the context of my filmmaking and, in some of his performances, he has involved projections from my films. We have performed in a confluence of noise, poetry and the occult in venues across Newcastle, London, and Berlin. We are currently working on a full-length recording.
