I’m really pleased that the people behind Fort Process asked me to do an installation at Newhaven Fort on 22nd September. Fort Process is ‘…an expansive multi­disciplinary music and arts festival that takes place in the evocative spaces of Newhaven Fort in East Sussex, with an extensive programme featuring site­-specific sound installations, international musicians, talks, films, poetry and workshops.”

I played at the first one four years ago, and managed to miss the last one in 2016. The lineup looks amazing so I’m hoping to get out and see what other people are up to. More here

I’m working on a piece which uses 16 artefacts from the Fort’s archive, I spent a fun afternoon in the archive with Bea trying to work out which objects made the best noises. The sounds they make will be made into a sound work, and some of the tracks will be set up so that the audience can interact with them.

 

 

The video element uses 3D scans of the artefacts, courtesy of the Brighton Eagle Lab, who let me use their 3D scanner for free. I’m mixing the scans with degraded footage of the objects. This is an early test:

 

The artefacts will be displayed in a museum case. There are a few ideas in my notebook about how they can be labelled, so I’ll see which one rises to the top.
