Adam as machine
Musical audio short using interview material recorded for the ‘D’ word. This piece focuses on pathologist Dr Stuart Hamilton and his perspective on the ‘mechanical’ nature of the human body. Featured at the ‘In the Dark at the Folly’ event in August 2011.
Bury St Edmunds
A surreal audio narrative constructed from recordings made on a trip to Bury St Edmunds. The piece morphs and moves between watery submersion, unsettling birdsong and market criers.
The Trip
