Simon Whetham
Sound Artist
 

​

Since 2005 Simon Whetham has worked with sonic activity. He often uses environmental sound, employing a variety of methods and techniques in order to obtain often unnoticed and obscured sonic phenomena. He also explores ways of creating physical traces of sound and transforming energy forms.

Whetham performs and exhibits internationally, has received a large number of commissions and awards, has many published composed works and regularly collaborates with other artists. In addition his practice covers giving active listening, field recording and technology repurposing workshops.

​

During his residency at Kimonos Art Center Simon Whetham has explored the activation of various lighting methods and devices, to be activated by sounds. The equipment and sounds have mainly been found in the local area. Part performance, part installation, “chiaroscuro” will be a multisensory experience.
