Jez riley French focuses on sound as both material and subject, working with a variety of formats to explore place, sounds outside of our attention, our response to located materials and questioning the dust of bias in the role of perception (and sound histories generally). Jez also activates discussions, curates workshops, works with photographic / text scores and has developed a range of specialist microphones widely used across sound culture.

Pheobe riley Law - cardboard beaded sym:metry
The title refers to early memories of attempting to make a set of
cardboard beaded, symmetrical shoes, & this process of remixing woven sounds including voice, group listening
&
recordings from myself (alongside synthesiser, e-piano, sampler), Louise Mackenzie w/ Hayley Jenkins, Jiska Huizing, Jez riley French, Sarah
Doheny & Coralie Gauthier (harp)
Pheobe riley Law is an installation artist with a focus on sound, three dimensional art, and image. She takes a magpie approach which involves arranging and building relationships between different bodies, vessels or devices in order to create a dialogue.

Jenny Berger Myhre - Soft, barbed, wire, moss
At murmuration the days were
marked by curiosity, kindness, awe and open ears. The group got into the
habit of taking evening walks
together, and in the dusk we sat next to each other by the hillside, listening quietly, recording, playing the fence together.
This is my memory of the week, with sounds from Cheryl Leonard, Natasha Dubler, Jiska Huizing, Louise
Mackenzie + Hayley Jenkins, Terje Abusdal, Marianne Thodas, Bethan Kellough (strings & electronics),
Coralie Gauthier (harp & electronics), & myself.
Jenny Berger Myhre is a multidisciplinary artist working with sound, video, performance and photography. Her work explores and exposes the personal in an honest and curious manner. Coming from the DIY scene in Oslo, Jenny's approach to music making is versatile and open, with an apparent love for the unpolished - referencing the electro-acoustic music tradition as well as experimental pop

Felicity Mangan - Romancing the geo’tone
The remix was inspired and guided by field recordings, which were shared with me and captured during our time together on the Murmuration trip in 2023.
The sound files were from Asher
Levitas, Mike Bullock, Louise
Mackenzie, Hayley Jenkins, Bethan Kellough, Francesco Barbieri and
Barthelemy Bellendy.
Felicity Mangan is an Australian sound artist and composer based in Berlin, Germany. In different situations such as solo performances and collaborative projects. Felicity samples and plays her field recordings and found sounds to create quasi-bioacoustic music.
