Simon Whetham
Seth Cooke
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.

Seth Cooke is an improviser and sound recordist.  His music is frequently location or process oriented and he often works with material happened upon by chance.  As a percussionist he plays traps and waste disposal sink.  Cooke runs the Every Contact Leaves a Trace CDr label.  He co-founded Bang the Bore with Clive Henry in 2009, Place of Safety with Henry Collins in 2013 and Several 2nds in 2013.

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…” - Brian Olewnik, Just Outside

tim blechmann was born and lives in a foreign country.

he attended various scientific and artistic universities and has a degree in both fields. as researcher he has published in the field between arts and sciences, though he prefers to keep his research and artistic work separate, as research is for the brain and arts is for the heart.

he played a lot of improvised music, loud and quiet, on festivals, in clubs, churches or living rooms, sometimes with audience, sometimes without, sometimes in europe, sometimes abroad, sometimes solo, sometimes in duos, as he considers this as the most direct and intimate musical encounter. always using free software, often his own. he also collaborated with like-minded artists, working with installations or abstract animations. his compositions are sometimes completely digital, sometimes involving analog material.

 most of his works are self-published on his website or his net-label moka bar.
