about

My work explores the inter-relationship between silence, the spatiality of nature’s sounds, presence, perception, and focused listening. From A Silence Within merges selected personal field and hydrophone recordings, gleaned from Noss and Noss Sound, and my music.

As often happens with sites around Shetland that inspire my work, I am drawn by what I observe and what I listen to around me as I wander through the particular atmospheres of Noss, the stretch of land opposite on Bressay and the Sound that separates the two pieces of land. Personally, it’s inevitable that such elements find their way into my music. The minimalistic sound textures that I immerse myself in - from bird calls to sheep and the sea - feed into the creation of From A Silence Within.

This work expresses an interpretation of experiences, a sound texture that tickles our memory of time and space, a play on the real and illusionary while engaging with the wonderful richness that is Noss and its immediate surroundings.
