London Concrete

about

Formed in January 2006, London Concrete are artists Seth Guy (Brignell) & Dee Bowen. London Concrete’s improvisations utilise plunderphonics, field and concrete recordings, reclaimed objects and hacked electronics, instruments, voice, contact microphones and manipulated technologies such as jumping speakers and pick-up coils. In juxtaposing everyday and alien sounds and recontextualising found texts and visual art sources they create unique collaged recordings and performances. London Concrete provide an alternative perspective of contemporary sound art and experimental music, injecting into it more physicality, humanity, chance and play; away from tightly controlled laptop and digitally-driven composition. Their evolving and exploratory approach to sound making has included work for theatre, radio, dance and live performance. They initiated an ongoing collaborative network via MySpace with other artists such as Amps For Christ (USA), Kommissar Hjuler & Mama Baer (Germany) and Dave Phillips (Switzerland) and have also worked directly with performance artist Anne Bean, Joel Cahen (Wetsounds/Scrap Club), poet Mark Anthony Pearce and dancer Lizzie Sells. London Concrete became defunct in July 2009. Published works OCT 10: Retrospectres LP, (FIBRR), [VIBRIRRR005]. DEC 09: London Concrete VS DP LP, London Concrete & Dave Phillips, (Electronik Music), [EM082]. FEB 09: Inversion of Violence/The Tartar Steppe (NRR), (Electronik Music), [EM023]. OCT 08: Combine 23, part of Noise=No
