Andrew Greaves and Dan Powell are both Brighton based musicians with a background in experimental music and sound art. Inside Journeys explores the physical and historical spaces occupied by The Rose Hill, as an arts space, a pub, and a building. It is a place people have met, lived and worked, and they will plot a course through all of this, using the sounds and stories they discover in it to create a new bespoke audio visual performance with audience participation.
The audio sources and ideas for Inside Journeys will be sourced by making recordings in the space of small solo performances, recordings of soundings of objects they find, and field recordings made over the course of their residency. They will also be sourcing historical recordings and any kind of sound ephemera they can lay their hands on, including sheet music relevant to the space and archive recordings. Their residency will culminate in a performance of the work.
Dan Powell is a sound artist who uses field recordings, handmade and proprietary electronics and tuned percussion. His main is exploring places which have a particular personal resonance for me. He released a couple of albums of sound art on Crónica . He has been active in electro-acoustic improvisation in London and Brighton, playing with Gus Garside in The Static Memories, and Chris Parfitt in Nil. Currently he performs as part of Muster with James O’Sullivan.
Andrew Greaves is an active member of both the Spirit of Gravity and the Safehouse improvisation collectives. Andrew’s pieces combine melodic Casio organ improvisations within layered settings. Employing minimalist repetition and collages of manipulated found sounds. Andrew’s works explore memory and recollection and the process of sub conscience influences arising within spontaneous improvisation. Andrew believes each of us hold an incalculable library of memories, forming a unique fingerprint of influences and perspectives. His work seeks to access this resource via improvisation to create instant compositions.His work has been used in film, both in the form of live soundtrack performances and produced soundtrack scores.
