Sound Arts Visiting Practitioners Series
He is a very novel sound artist who shows his knowledges and opinions in his speech by showing off his manifestos… I wonder how he came up with so many manifestos, because for me I had only one: Art is speechlesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
His current interests include looking at access, learning and structure and how art and music can create spaces that remove barriers and make new forms of normal. He looks to create nuanced and impactful ways to evaluate and communicate his role in different collaborations: as an associate artist within learning disability arts organisations.
Then I wondered he had the unique experience of seeing musicians with learning disabilities on stage performing and it was one of the best gigs.
I have worked supporting people with learning disabilities and autistic people to make and share their art and music for over 15 years.

I like Jessica Ellis’ statement. The idea that Sound Arts ‘reaches out to the art world in a new and distinct way’ is quite exciting! It doesn’t taste like stale bread! When we don’t have strong etiquette and formalities in navigating the field we can explore and discover with innocence and freshness, making Sound Arts a powerful force. This too shall pass?
I agree that sound stirs biological roots. It makes me think about the emotional reaction to sounds. Is the reaction from our own personal history, or is there a longer ancestral history involved in our perception of sounds?
I wonder how we can explore the sources of the “thousand feelings in a thousand people’s ears” in a sound project, that listens and amplifies the interior back into the world. Maybe we can sing!
