A chara!

This Sunday 24th May, Simon Whetham plays in Cork for the first time, and this Wednesday 20th May at 9am on éist, there is a special episode of seomra folamh, where I talk to Simon Whetham about his practice. Listen at https://eist.radio/

Simon is artist in residence at Interface Inagh and plays in Cork for the first time this Sunday 24th May at Plugd. Tickets are available on Eventbrite.

Since 2005 Simon Whetham has developed a practice of working with sonic activity as a raw material for creation. He uses environmental sound, employing a variety of methods and techniques in order to obtain often unnoticed and obscured sonic phenomena. When presenting work in a performance or installation, for him the space and the objects within become instruments to be played.

His artistic investigations have caused him to work increasingly in multi-disciplinary projects, leading his work to become more visual and tangible. He is currently exploring ways to retain physical traces of sound and transforming energy forms.
