Also in June we also had a wonderful time recording some new work in the studio at Gorbals Sound, Glasgow.

Each Morning of the World
I’m really delighted that my track Wave Shift is first up in the new season of Each Morning of the World, a soundscape project produced by Stéphane Marin in France . The digital album, released on 18th August 2019, is called South Asia PhoNographic Mornings. One new track will be broadcast each week over 20 weeks. Broadcast details can be found through the Bandcamp link below.
Many thanks indeed to Stéphane for inviting me to contribute the track and also the visual artwork for the album cover/track. I also recorded the voice intro and outro for the season’s radio broadcast each week.
This version of Wave Shift is a re-working of a longer piece originally produced as part of an installation following a UZ Arts Residency at Sura Medura in Sri Lanka.
To listen to all the tracks on the digital album please go to Each Morning of the World Bandcamp. All donations for downloading and streaming go to the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology (WFAE).
Each track is also announced on Facebook at Each Morning of the World Facebook.
Batch:2 Festival
Looking forward to Radio Play A and new work-in-progress Radio Play B performances at Batch Festival in the Borders on Sunday 18th August 2019.
With Ian Spink, Skye Reynolds, Selina Boyack, Rebecca Moore and Stella. Huge thanks to Claire Pencak for hosting.
Visit Batch Festival on Facebook for more information.
Residency at Q-O2 in Brussels
I’m delighted to be on a residency at Q-O2 in Brussels for two weeks. See more info at Q-O2.
My priority will be to reflect on Night Vision – a new work-in-progress originally developed at Rough Mix 2019 with Magnetic North Theatre Company. That residency culminated in a live performance….
My reflections will focus on how Night Vision moves forward. If time allows, I will also continue working on a series of visual images that emerged from the source texts as a separate thread.
Rays & Correlations
Rays & Correlations – Radiophrenia 2019
Zoë Strachan and I created Rays & Correlations for a live broadcast from the Radiophrenia studio on 15th May 2019. This is our third collaborative radio artwork. Previous works are In Transit and Static Flux. Static Flux was also originally performed as a live broadcast on Radiophrenia and then selected for a Spoken Word live performance at Hidden Door Festival 2018 in Edinburgh.
Programme Note
Inspired by the patterns of cosmic ray interactions in a cloud chamber, we imagine the myriad signals and attempts at communication that might enter a sphere and intersect, cluster, miss or fade away. Rays & Correlations is a voice-focused improvised performance with layers of interactive soundscape. The listener is invited to find a thread to hold onto amid interweaving sparse and dense streams of words and evocations – and to decide whether the sound space is literal, as inside a kind of radome, or metaphorical – representing any individual consciousness trying to make sense of human connection.
Tectonics The Guardian
Tectonics Review The Guardian ****
7th May 2019
…”Downstairs in the Old Fruitmarket, Scottish vocalist Nichola Scrutton breathed deeply into a mic, the sounds mirrored by clarinettist Alex South across the room. In between, the audience were caught in a dexterous layering of breath that felt like the wash and roll of the sea.”…
