She uses the sounds of brush and paper, layered with recordings made in locations across the world, from mountain streams in the Pyrenees, to the machinery in an observatory in Chicago, to the sonic texture of Tokyo itself. Influences include graphic scoring, and Noh, which she studied in Tokyo.Emily RaeEmily is a queer, female, Scottish multi-instrumentalist, performer, deviser, and genre-fluid composer whose practice re-contextualises and manipulates found sounds and culturally, emotionally, or historically resonant samples. Emily’s work re-conceptualises female lived experiences to create a space for underrepresented voices through experimental and interdisciplinary approaches to sound.Lydia Evans / Chris BennettLydia and Chris are South Wales–based experimental free improvisers, combining electronic and acoustic sources, including hand-built synthesizers (sometimes using motors and specialised loudspeakers), field recordings, voice (often using extended techniques), percussion and flutes. Music and sound, for them can be transformational, transcendental, an act of activism, expression, subversion, and celebration.They will be giving a live demo of their work.Mark HanslipMark’s core practice consists of improvised saxophone and data-driven electronics.He is currently using Trevor Wishart's concept of 'Wavesets' - a method for identifying then processing short fragments of audio (which originally was only available as a non-real time process) - to process live audio audio signals, achieving unique and unexpected effects in real-time improvised performance.He will be giving a live demo of his work.Pooyan SaadatiPooyan created the sound design for a short film about the rights of women in Iran. The sounds used included Geiger counters, synthesizers, and an MRI scanner, along with vocal recordings and piano, which were arranged and processed.Rhian HutchingsRhian’s Curb Appeal explores the experience of curbside recycling in her vocal and concrete compositional process. Her work highlights the ethical aspects of recycling. All our glass, plastic, paper & cardboard waste is collected, sorted and recycled. Or is it? While glass can be fully recycled, this is not the case for plastic which can end up being burnt or even shipped abroad to waste dumps in other countries.Richard McReynoldsRichard designs and codes performance instruments using MaxMSP, motion sensors, hacked gaming controllers, or custom light-responsive devices to engage in dialogue with his software. He is interested in how the body’s movement can shape sound, a choreography of performance, and how the body’s visual presence is understood as part of this process. This interest has led him to collaborate with dancers, sculptors, and musicians. By tracking movement, he feels he has regained the embodied, expressive control he missed in his purely digital workRobert GillespieRobert’s audio-visual work 'Anticipation, Experiencing and Remembering' is influenced by hauntology - how the past can force it’s way into the present, as a feeling, a disturbance, something which cannot be fully grasped or understood.Teddy HunterTeddy explores the environment through her works using synthetic sound, vocals, field recordings, and plant bioelectrical fields, to produce soundscapes and ambient works which engage with ecological themes, including the interactions between humans and nature. She also merges soundscapes with popular music aesthetics to create ambient electronic immersive experiences.Vivian CheungVivian’s CantoNeon for live piano and fixed electronics is a portmanteau of ‘Cantonese’ and ‘neon’, depicting the glowing neon lights of a fading Hong Kong. It is a personal exploration of the cultural identity of a British-born Chinese who’s never visited their home country. Snippets of interviews about people’s multicultural experiences intermingle with a palette of stylophone, piano, and voice. Throughout the piece, the piano shifts from in-piano techniques to shimmering, blended textures to reflect on the emotional process of shame, reflection and acceptance of one’s identity.Address:University of Wales Trinity Saint David Swansea College of ArtDynevor Pl,De-La Beche St,SwanseaSA1 3EUPrifysgol Cymru Y Drindod Dewi Sant Coleg Celf AbertaweDynevor Pl,De-La Beche St,AbertaweSA1 3EU - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/swansea/sonic-arts-forum-swansea-fforwm-celfyddydau-synaidd-abertawe/100001813172480699 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, music, business, art, performances, live-music, fine-arts, theatre, lgbt-pride - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Swansea - **state**: WA - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Swansea College Of Art, UWTSD - **lat**: 51.6218006 - **long**: -3.9460823 - **full address**: Swansea College Of Art, UWTSD, De-La Beche Street, Swansea, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Sonic Arts Forum Swansea / Fforwm Celfyddydau Synaidd Abertawe - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/29b87fb7b3c6384dcf91aa0c70d170ccc28413dbe9e1470d6f5b441242b10ba9-rimg-w1200-h495-dcd8a803-gmir.jpg?v=1761480996 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Sonic Arts Forum Swansea / Fforwm Celfyddydau Synaidd Abertawe being held? - **A:** Sonic Arts Forum Swansea / Fforwm Celfyddydau Synaidd Abertawe takes place on Sat, 15 Nov, 2025 at 09:00 am to Sat, 15 Nov, 2025 at 05:00 pm at Swansea College Of Art, UWTSD, De-La Beche Street, Swansea, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Sonic Arts Forum Swansea / Fforwm Celfyddydau Synaidd Abertawe? - **A:** Sonic Arts Forum Swansea / Fforwm Celfyddydau Synaidd Abertawe is organized by Sonic Arts Forum. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
