About Neon:
After writing the piece, it was wonderful to be asked to produce the Manchester Collectives new album, due out 23rd June 2023
Inspired by light and life, fusing layers of live electronics and field recordings from Tokyo’s Shinjuku Station with the acoustic performances of the Collective.
“Born of breath, heat and a spark, neon has an enigmatic presence of meaning and significance, all things and nothing. A symbol of the city at night, iconic landmarks and urban design – ablaze light waves vibrating through the air … I hope the interplay in this piece between the ‘digital tape’ performer and the acoustic instruments, allows for a reflection on the presence and value of the hand, as we move ever quickly forward, into the future”
