Tom Richards

Tom Richards live performances are based on rhythmically mixing several channels of live radio broadcast in the face of the immanent cancellation of analogue FM broadcasting. He has a continuing interest in tribal and shamanic music. He works with live or recorded and randomised live electronic drum-choirs using principles of chance and polyrhythm. In addition to the semi-autonomous machinic interfaces he utilises to create sound structures he also involves resonant sonic sculptural elements as part of his works.
