ARTISTS:

Andreas Berthling

Sound artist from Sweden, working out of the Academy of Fine Art, Trondheim, 
who is interested in ?process?. He will be performing works from his cd 1000 
? 1001 Hz, released by Microwave, which were made by converting degraded 
video into audio, creating diverse atmospheres of microrhythmic noise.

Disinformation

aka sound artist Joe Banks, renowned for his national grid works and 
recordings of various radio phenomena, released by Ash International. He has 
also created works for the Museum of Installation, Kettle?s Yard gallery, 
Leipzig?s Galerie fur Zeitgenossische Kunst, and will be showing at the 
forthcoming Sonic Boom show at the Hayward Gallery.

Paul Hopton

A computer programmer and artist whose interests cross disciplines. For 
extrasensory he will install a listening booth that invites participants to 
hear anew the sounds of London, sourced via microphone from outside the 
venue. His work invites us to go beyond our usual visual interpretation of 
space (dispensing with all the cultural baggage this implies) by presenting 
us with recognisable situations divorced of their visual stimuli.

immedia

Two artists who work with very low volume, microscopic sound, utilising both 
recordings of empty interior spaces and sounds created through the use of 
digital equipment malfunction. They have released a number of vinyl and cd 
works through their own label and Microwave. For extrasensory they will 
present an audio-visual piece entitled Sonic Environments ? ?virtual? 
recordings of imagined spaces.
immedia will also present a selection of slide works and Fields, three 
sound-light boxes.

James Whitehead

aka Jliat, a conceptual sound artist whose recorded works include constant, 
non-changing drone pieces for the duration of a cd (74 mins) -  sonic 
meditations that invite the attentive listener to lose all sense of time and 
space, meaning and purpose. extrasensory sees the premier of new works that 
utilise computer coding to create different types of silence...

Shirt Trax

Two music makers / sound artists who work with sensors and digital signal 
processing to create quick-edit microsound works. Their work for 
extrasensory tbc.

Jake Tilson

A multimedia artist who will make his Noise Violation Kit available on the 
night: these are reproductions of the cards carried by Noise Violation 
officers for people to take away and use as necessary. Silence rowdy 
neighbours by posing as an officer and serving a notice on them! He will 
also present a (silent) video work inspired by sound.



The event will also include DJ performance highlighting the best in 
contemporary sound art and microsonics.

A programme will be made available on the night detailing the event schedule 
and further information on the specific works being presented, including 
details of selected sound works played by the DJ. Artist?s CDs will also be 
available to buy.
