Hey all, I hope you're well.
I'm a sound artist/musician/experimental photographer. I perform conceptual based music exploring environmental and political themes. I'm looking to collaborate with an explorer to go to a location in the next 2 weeks to capture 35mm photography and record sound for an upcoming contemporary music performance at the Freerotation music Festival in Wales. I'm really interested in capturing sound and image and utilizing to provoke positive change within our environment. Here are a few of my recent conceptual projects/performances:

I'll be performing a concept based around 'bats', alongside an Indian tabla drummer, ultrasonic bat calls and using field recordings from the derelict location. I will be exploring the mythology of the bat as being a symbol of change, so I'm especially interested at locations near London (within 40 miles) decaying public facilities such as schools, hospitals etc. I will be recording the performance and then releasing the music as a limited run vinyl with the photography taken in the collaboration as the vinyl artwork. All proceeds and my performance fee are going to environmental charities.
If this is interesting to any of you I'd love to speak with you and tell you more about the project (PM), you will be credited (if you want) on the record sleeve, but more importantly, a part of something that hopefully fuels change for all. I'll also happily buy a pint or two and some food after.
All the very best and I hope to contribute with some photography to this amazing community soon.
Humble thanks,
