Listen Club #27: Body Sounds with Al Strachan

  • The Rose Hill 70 Rose Hill Terrace Brighton, England, BN1 4JL United Kingdom (map)

TUESDAY 16TH SEPTEMBER 2025 | 7PM | £5 ADV

Ever since putting a hydrophone into his mouth (followed by some popping candy and a tuning fork) Al Strachan has nurtured an interest in how the human body can be utilised by musicians and sound artists. For Listen Club #27 he will delve into the history of this practice, playing recordings of artists who incorporated heart beats, digestive gurgles and more into their sonic adventures.


Al Strachan is an improvising musician who uses cornet, electronics and hydrophones to make soundworlds. He is also a key member of three Brighton-based music and sound art collectives: Safehouse, Lost Property and Sound Art Brighton.


ABOUT LISTEN CLUB

Listen Club is about listening together is in the same space, with the possibility of sharing impressions and casual discussion afterwards. Listen Club hopes to provide a counterpoint to the quick paced personal consumption of music with a more patient shared experience; a deep listen, together, in order to foster community.
