For over a decade, English’s audio investigations have traversed a divergent path where musical and environmental sources are granted equal focus. His work calls into question the established relationships of sound and structure – field recordings and musical materials work in unison, acting as suggestive devices. Published widely on respected imprints including Touch, 12K and Winds Measure, English’s work is sculpted and overwhelmingly intricate. As label manager, he has established Room40 as an internationally influencial record label specialising in electronic and experimental music. His most recent release on 12k, A Colour For Autumn, is a tonally rich affair, sourcing much of it’s sounds from a mixture of instruments, field recordings and assorted electronics.

Seaworthy recently released their second full length for 12k, 1897. Recordings for the album were made in and around a 100 year old decommissioned ammunitions bunker in western Sydney during a three month residency with the Sydney Olympic Park Authority’s Arts Program. A series of improvisations, compositions and field recordings were made within the bunkers and surrounding natural environment. After sold out shows in Brisbane and Perth, Seaworthy return to Serial Space – complete with a new set of visuals. Seaworthy myspace
