Working across a broad range of investigations, English’s work is eclectic and characterises a long-term exploration into various themes including audio/visual environments, found sound/vision, subtle transformation of public space and sonic art works that exist at the very edge of perception.

Joining English are highly prolific improvisational duo Splendid Friends (Camryn Rothenbury and Craig McElhinney) and soloist Kynan Tan.

Field recordings from travels across Australia are morphed with voice, instruments and electronics to explore environments, time, place and space. The result is tantalising, suggestive, and very distinctive.
