2018 - [INNER ARCHITECTURE]

A response to the 1962 Pure Maths Exam, commissioned by the National Library of Scotland for "Re-Sits", celebrating the digitisation of their exam archive. Created in collaboration with singers from across the Isle of Skye, the piece is an exploration of the circular ruins of Dùn Beag - a stone age broch - as a site of maths, music and indeterminacy. Meeting within its walls over the course of 6 weeks, we played with distribution of harmony, chanting, binary counting and improvisation to see what might emerge from the questions in the exam.

2016 - [THE INFORMANTS]

As adults we often make sweeping predictions ourselves and our world, when the people who live in those futures are already here among us, albeit in child form. The Informants presents edited and anonymised interview content which is, in a playful way, an attempt to get them to “report back” on what those futures are like. This project had two iterations, one for the In Cahoots conference at Sound Festival Aberdeen, and one for Atlas Arts' "Travelling The Archive".

2014 - [THE REPLICA HEARTH]

A collaborative project with Kate McMorrine, exploring the story of 'Eoghann the Yeti', a crofter who mysteriously vanished into woodland on the Isle of Skye in 1984. The work centres around a reconstruction of Eoghann's living room inside a shipping container, and a museum/gift shop housing an exhaustive collection of speculative academia. The exhibition was a journey through his personal life and the contemporary history of his community, but beneath it were clues to something more sublime and unharnessed.

2013 - [STORY'S END]

Created with The Dead Man's Waltz, Story's End was a collective performance exploring the role of death in narrative.
