Listen Club #27: Body Sounds with Al Strachan

Ever since putting a hydrophone into his mouth (followed by some popping candy and a tuning fork) Al Strachan has nurtured an interest in how the human body can be utilised by musicians and sound artists. For Listen Club #27 he will delve into the early history of this practice, with artists incorporating heart beats, digestive gurgles and more into their sonic adventures.

Al Strachan is an improvising musician who uses cornet, electronics and hydrophones to make soundworlds. He is also a key member of three Brighton-based music and sound art collectives: Safehouse, Lost Property Arts Collective and Sound Art Brighton.

ABOUT LISTEN CLUB

Listen Club is about listening together is in the same space, with the possibility of sharing impressions and casual discussion afterwards.
