Composer-performer Simon Charles produces work that straddles improvised and notated music, often incorporating electro-acoustic media with instrumental performance.
This November he will undertake Just Sine Tones; an exploration of tuning systems developed through digital processing techniques, in association with Punctum. Using various electro-acoustic media, he will perform a series of works that the culmination of a week long residency program.
A relatively new area of Charles‘ practice, the direction of this work thus reveals highly idiosyncratic language, honing perception through extreme stasis and stark contrast. Integrating reel-to-reel tapes with digitally produced sine tones, works produced thus far reveal a striking sound-world.
