Clem has composed a stunning soundscape to accompany a selection of bespoke photographic pieces…

‘Home Outside is a piece conceived from these 20 pictures and the emotion for my natural surroundings. The piece is an exploration of sound and textures….

I have tried to imply themes and ideas musically, but under a haze of a soundscape. Using only acoustic instruments including violin, guitar and also some field recordings I have endeavored to build up a murky, textually dense musical environment in which motifs and passages appear and disappear within the world of sound. With beautiful lines of flute from Isnaj Dui I have tried to weave a rich tapestry of sound. The piece is very much for a listener to interoperate and musically pick out lines and phrases to explore and creatively elaborate on. Most of all I hope you enjoy it and the concept behind it.

With thanks to Katie, Heidi and Neil.

This work is dedicated to Friends, Family & Supporters’ – Clem

Digital Edition: January 2012
As I write this the eyes are slightly blurred and the brain is slowly giving way… I guess that’s what seven hours sat in front of a computer screen will do to you! I hope you will agree that it has been worth it as this months digital edition is packed (125 pages to be [...]

Recent Mixes

Listening Mirror – That Gum You Like Is Going To Come Back In Style
There’s no real rhyme or reason behind the selections in this mix. They are all tracks I love, by artists I have great respect for. Some, like Tonto’s Expanding Head Band, opened my eyes to electronic music when I was a teenager in the early 70′s, and I still have my original copies of their [...]

They never adopted the name for themselves
My photography is based on the idea that reality is an ambivalent structure, a mental frontier between things. An undefined border separating concrete and elusive fields, materiality and the invisible. It’s also a way to describe in a poetical way, our soul’s inner struggle between peace and animality, between light and darkness. – Stéphane C [...]
