JEZ RILEY-FRENCH RESIDENCY AND WORKSHOP
After a long cold winter at The WIRED Lab we are always happy to welcome the warmth and sonic shifts that comes with Spring. This Spring will also bring much intent listening as we will be joined by seasoned UK based artist Jez Riley-French. A composer, musician, visual artist and listener, for the past three decades Riley-French has employed intuitive composition, field recording, improvisation and photography to explore his enjoyment of detail, simplicity and response to place(s).
Alongside solo performances and exhibitions Riley-French collaborates with other artists, runs the ‘in place’ project on field recording – a subject on which he also lectures, organizes the‘seeds and bridges’ event series and runs the ‘engraved glass’ label.
In recent years Riley-French has been working extensively on recordings of surfaces, man-made and natural architectural spaces for the ‘….audible silence’ project and has been developing the concept of photographic scores. His work has been performed, exhibited and published widely. He is also a noted ‘go to’ guy for his custom built hydrophones and contact microphones which are used by sound artists and musicians from around the world.
‘SCORES FOR LISTENING’ workshop
During Riley-French’s residency he will be collaborating with Wired Lab member David Burraston to present a 2 day ‘Scores for Listening’ workshop. This workshop will include:
- extended field recording and composition techniques to natural soundscape and acoustic ecology recording.
- Opportunity to build and work with your own piezo contact microphone, along with discussion about working with hydrophones, ultrasonic detectors, coil pickups & transducers
- Making durational recordings and composing with environments.
- Insights into micro-listening and a closer relationship with environments through extended & focused listening
- Illustrated, informal talks by Jez Riley French and David Burraston about their work in recent years and at The Wired Lab
WHEN: Saturday 15th & Sunday 16th September
