Sound artist, educator and academic working in the conjuncture of sound and place, affect, movement and memory.

Themes running across my work include explorations of the archive, immersion, heritage, intermedia and an ongoing interest in the multitude of minor and liminal time-spaces of past, present and future.

Current creative and research interests are partially framed by these projects:

National Trust Research

How much can we understand about NT collections and properties by listening?
What is sound art and how might some of its themes and practices relate to heritage?
How might an awareness of sound help staff in their work for the National Trust?

Sounds for an Empty House

A sonic portrait of a so-called “empty place” and to foreground the rich, near forgotten histories of this, and many other, derelict buildings throughout North Wales.
An archeo-acoustic rummage through the latent narratives of place. A sound artist’s entanglement with site, history and community.

Yn dod i gwrdd / 만나러 온다 (Coming to Meet)

This collaborative piece was constructed from only two sound sources; a wind-up Gramophone dating from the 1920’s (Grafonola No. 109) and a traditional Korean kayagum.

Academic Paper Proposal

“To ask for a map is to say, tell me a story” (Turchi 2004:11).
The Sonic Cartography conference invited artists and scholars to debate the issues surrounding the aesthetics and ethics of sound work within creative and heritage contexts. Our proposal is titled The Responsible Ear: Heritage, Site and Sonic Methodologies of Encounter

On The Up-Flow of Air

8-channel piece created with Connall Gleeson for our Sound and The Urban Environment Symposium, Onca Gallery, Brighton.
The piece was largely constructed from recordings of the flow of air resonating the then-scaffolded historic structure of Saint Peter’s Church directly opposite Onca.

Forthcoming bilingual avant-poetry album

The first album by Anglo-Welsh avant-gardists GGLEC.
Amidst CV controlled tape hiss and acousmatic sound design, avant-bard Rhys Trimble’s visionary and fractured poetics strive to articulate the tensions of the contemporary experience in a failing miasma of dysfunctional communication technologies.

Visual Cognition A.I. Experiments

A developing body of work based in a reductive notion of images as abject datasets – digital combines data-mashing incongruent information into abstract form

Forthcoming debut collection by sainsŵn

A series of 9 works based upon psychoacoustics, cognitive illusion and the deconstruction of the activity formally known as “music”

Traditional Welsh quilt designs reinterpreted

This visual series reworks traditional design from an ultramodern digital perspective (java, A.I., generative video) with an explicit interest in exploring constructions of class, gender and Anglo-Welsh identify.

RGB A.I. Video Renders for Large Format projection

Basic geometries procedurally generated in java which are then trained by A.I to render large format moving colour fields
