Post listening 1 | MGM Urban Exploration Squad
February 2005 Post-Listening II: This was a development of the post-listening project described below. Once again recordings were made in the listening post in Berlin, Germany. However this time certain instruments were included to allow the musicians to realise different potentials of the space, followed by a live performance in Perfume Gallery, Berlin. The recordings are being released by Forest Records and will include a series of interpretations by various experimental composers. They have also been added to the Soundscape Website (http://berlin.soundscape-fm.net), created as part of the Transmediale Festival 2005.
These recordings were funded by the Scottish Arts Council.

September 2004 Post-Listening: Experimental improvisational work composed with two other musicians in an abandoned listening post in Teufelsburg, Berlin, Germany. The concept here was to represent our surroundings through music utilising items found within the building. The music was played inside one of the listening domes, creating the multi-timbral delay heard on the recording. This is a project I would like to take further and develop into a full length recording. The other musicians involved were Duncan McGregor (based in Edinburgh) and Dirk Markham (previously based in Edinburgh but now resident in Berlin).
