Simon Whetham

Paul Khimasia Morgan
As
part of a short UK tour, globe-trotting sound artist and field recordist Simon Whetham
teams up with two dissenting improvisers; Bristol’s Seth Cooke and Brighton
resident Paul Khimasia Morgan.
Activating objects and surfaces with found sounds and
actions, Simon Whetham creates a shifting sonic environment that is comfortably
disorientating. Simon has been capturing
and composing almost primarily with field recordings since taking part in a
research trip to Iceland in 2005. He was invited to participate in two
residencies at the Art Container in Tallinn, Estonia, the second to compose new
work, collaborate with other artists using sound and run deep listening, field
recording and composition workshops. This
residency resulted in ‘Active Crossover’, a touring exhibition and exchange
project.
Paul Khimasia
Morgan is an improviser, currently working with electronics, zither and the
sonification of low voltage. Paul’s
music has been released on Absence Of Wax, Engraved Glass, Con-V and Cronica.
"…a weft of mysterious hums and clicks that creeps
organically across the intervening space between the speakers and my ears,
never quite identifying itself but always offering tantalizing glimpses…” -
