I am a London based writer and sound artist with a focus on online AV culture, contemporary conditions of anxiety and isolation, and the liberatory potential of the strange and eerie. I produce experimental electronic music and sonic fictions as Tam Lin for which I was longlisted for the Sound & Music “In Motion” award earlier this year. My next release, “Mutant Tangle”, comes out in September.
- Recent Work -
At the start of August, I put out “Ideas in their Becoming” with Container Magazine, an audio essay exploring the affect machines of social media and the potential liberation found in low quality videos.
In June, I released “bluelightnospaceflattime” with Flaming Pines, a sonic fiction blending original spoken word with dark ambience to explore digital nostalgia, distraction, and dreams half remembered.
In late 2023, I produced the audio-essay, “Crystallised Estate”, for the Barbican show "What is Happening Inside?”, exploring the architecture of the Barbican Estate and Elephant & Castle through field recordings of the walls, floors, and storm drains of each locale.
Around the same time, I published “Isolated Together: The Online Sound of Digital and Analog Haunting”, a practice research paper for Sonic Scope Journal exploring amateur YouTube videos, online horror, and a close study of Jane Schoenbrun’s “We’re all going to the World’s Fair”.
