Collecting // Objects // Sounding – performance and talk (London)
An update on my plans for the event:
– During the day I’ll exhibit some of the stuff I collect including Post-It notes, blank cassette sleeves and home-made cassette covers.
– I’ll also make a new short run recycled tape edition, including the covers. They’ll be recorded sequentially with a Music by the Metre set-up.
– In the evening I’ll join in the panel discussion on Collcting // Objects // Sounding – how each of the artists use their collections in their work
– finally, an improvised performance for which I’ll use some of my collection of instructional cassettes, home recordings and some chance-made loops.

“Everything that matters is to be found in the card box of the researcher who wrote it, and the scholar studying it assimilates it into his own card index”
