Very pleased to announce that the fully digitised archive of Contact: A Journal for Contemporary Music (1971-1990) is now openly available online, with all articles and issues free to access in perpetuity: https://www.contactjournal.gold.ac.uk/ – a huge thanks to everyone involved in this three year long project, in particular to Dr Fiorenzo Palermo and Gregory White who did so much work on making this all possible.
Horniman x Goldsmiths, 21 March 2019
I am co-curating two installation pieces at the forthcoming Late at the Horniman Museum as part of my work as Research Associate in the Department of Music at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Firstly, there will be a spatial Longplayer Listening Post installed for the evening. Longplayer is a 1000-year long composition by Jem Finer, for which I am a trustee. More information here.

Secondly, I’ve been working with the artist Appau Jnr Boakye-Yiadom and Black Tower Projects on a new iteration of Boakye-Yiadom’s ‘Adaptive Rhythm’ spatial audiovisual work. We’ve been working with the Horniman Musical Instrument collection and the phenomenal Taiko drummer Aki Fujimoto in realising the project.
