Patricia McGahan is a sound artist with a background in photography and fine art. Drawing inspiration from her past visual practice, she explores noise, texture, and deep listening to craft immersive sonic soundscapes that combine synth sounds with manipulated field recordings. Through layered textures, her work evokes a strong sense of atmosphere and presence, capturing the relationship between the natural and human-made world. She is particularly interested in creating soundscapes that question our relationship with the world around us, and she continues to explore, experiment, and develop her practice in new and unexpected ways.
Lee Coxon is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist and sonic artist. He came to the world of experimental sound art due to his passion for noise and industrial soundscapes. Since hearing The Beatles' foray into musique concrète on the chaotic Revolution 9, he has explored other left-field genres such as minimalism, harsh noise, avant-garde, and industrial music; in particular the seminal English band Throbbing Gristle. All of this informs his use of synths, guitar, audio feedback, and digitally treated acoustic elements to produce the sounds he creates.
Alicia Mâ Ri Atu Mâ was given her unusual second name during a spiritual induction ceremony by Mauta Taki, a Maōri shaman. A musician, writer, and artist, Alicia has spent decades exploring the energetic and sensual nature of sound with world-class West African musicians and through 13 years of therapeutic sound practice with gongs and other healing instruments. In 1978, she met Bob Marley in Covent Garden, and toured the BBC’s Radiophonics workshop for her thesis on special effects in film and TV. Now, she mixes vocal improvisation and acoustic instruments with manipulated samples and live loops. Alicia's gong work can be found at https://hushhour.net
