Lawrence English is media artist, composer and curator based in
Australia. Workingacross an eclectic
array of aesthetic investigations, English’s work prompts questions
offield, perception and memory. He
utilises a variety of mediums including liveperformance, audio/visual
environments, found sound/vision
to create his work that typifies his interests in creating experiences
that create subtle transformation of
space and ask audiences to become aware of that which exists at the
edge of perception.
For over a decade, English’s audio investigations have traversed a
divergent path where musical and
environmental sources are granted equal focus. His work calls into
question the established
relationships of sound and structure – field recordings and musical
materials work in unison, acting as
suggestive devices. Rather than prescriptive, English’s sound work
call for the listener to construct
their own narratives and impressions based on their personal histories
and experiences. Published
widely on respected imprints including Touch, 12K and Winds Measure,
English’s work is sculpted and
overwhelmingly intricate. The Wire noted his ‘use of space and silence
is remarkable’, and U.S. sound
journal Signal To Noise described the Ghost Towns work as ‘
extraordinarily gorgeous modern music
concréte’.
As a producer English has completed numerous projects with artists
including Tujiko Noriko (U,
Blurred In My Mirror), Ben Frost (Theory Of Machines), Tenniscoats
(Totemo Aimasho, Temporacha)
and The Rational Academy (Swans). He has also completed commissioned
compositions for
acclaimed avant-circus troupe Circa, various theatre ensembles and has
worked as a sound designer
in collaboration with artists including Australian visualist Craig
Walsh.
English’s installation and gallery practice is concerned predominately
with challenging the
understandings and expectations of site specificity, sound and media.
His 2008 ‘Trio For Objects’
exhibition presented three discrete sound installations (kinetic,
prepared’ and sculptural) which when
experienced in unison created a ‘related sound field’. By contrast,
the 3-screen video installation Ghost
Towns, seeks to create an abstract ‘virtual map’ of remote Australian
spaces. In 2006 English
produced a series of sound art works specifically for the deaf and
hearing impaired under the title
‘Silence Listening’. These works were amongst the first of their kind
in the world, exploring and
examining the notions of isolation and sonic interaction within these
oft-marginalized communities.
Outside of his recording and art commissions, Lawrence English curates
a number of ongoing sound
and media programs including Mono at the Institute Of Modern Art and
Syncretism at the Judith Wright
Centre of Contemporary Arts. He produces the annual Room40 festival
Open Frame (in Australia and
London) and co-produces a number of other festivals including Sound
Polaroids, Liquid Architecture
and Frankly!. He continues to curate numerous conceptually driven art
projects including Melatonin –
Meditations. On Sound In Sleep (for Next Wave Festival), Airport
Symphony (for the Queensland
Music Festival), Small Scores (for Valley Fiesta) and Audible Geography
(for University Of Tasmania).
He has presented on radio as part of Triple J’s Soundlab program and
he continues to produce an
extensive range of radio documents and sound works for programs such as
the BBC’s World Service.
His critical writings can be found in journals such as The Wire, Signal
To Noise, Paris Transatlantic,
Cyclic Defrost, and numerous online outlets.
English’s imprint and multi-arts organisation ROOM40: www.room40.org
Maintains a steady release schedule from an eclectic array of
Australian and international artists.
