Stephen Cornford

2015 Release. Includes an insert with liner notes by Stephen Cornford (Japanese translation by Nao Nishihara and Yoko Sato) and Minoru Hatanaka (English translation by Yoko Sato and Stéphane Shibatsuji-Perrin, and an 8-page booklet with black and white photos by Stephen Cornford. CD compiling recordings of installation works for musical instruments made between 2006 and 2010. Stephen Cornford’s practice exists at the junction between sculpture and music, using sound and noise to investigate the physical qualities of our material world. The work alters our assumptions of familiar objects, musical instruments and audio technologies, often simply by amplifying the previously inaudible. Stephen’s work inhabits both gallery and gig, taking the forms of kinetic installation and process-based performance by turns, always searching for situations in which the material controls the outcome as much as he does.
