Nigel Wright has been creating audio for over 10 years and is known for his spacious, expansive sound pieces. Dense layers of tonal drones underpin the field recordings, guitar, and tape loops that Wright uses as source material for his laptop-based live performances.
“Wright works with big, weighty chunks of sound… He uses laptop to weather and rust his guitars strings, ricocheting hefty down-strummed chords through cavernous banks of effects and then watching the overtones drift in the distance, like trailing headlights captured on polaroids.” (Jon Dale – The Wire)

Alive to the Timbre of your Touch by Nicolas Woolaston

A collection of improvised electronic instruments by Nicolas Woollaston

These works present an organic electronic palate for the senses, a synergy between person and electricity, manifested as sound created through personal electronics and their “direct carving” circuits completed by human touch, fingers and hands. Gallery participants are invited to freely explore the touch sensitive timbral possibilities of each machine.

Nicolas Woollaston is a creative technologist who has a passion for closing the gap between production and consumption, for electronic gadgetry, for wonderful and strange noises, for making it all personal.
