| | jonathan coleclough (b. 1963) is an english sound artist active since 1989. his material comes both from the immediate acoustic environment around him, and from using some of the most basic and elemental of sound-making techniques (the scrape of metal, the sigh of human breath). many of the sounds that he records are freighted with emotional resonance, or come from specific locations with personal significance. the intense but private associations of these sounds aren't intended as the subject of the work, but form an important part of his working practice- they inform his subsequent careful processing and manipulation of the material into sound works that are full of tension, often beautiful and unsettling. the rawness of his gathered sound material contrasts with the sophisticated sound-sculpting tools he uses, and he draws on that contrast to find the necessary tensions in his work. these include the tensions between consonance and dissonance, activity and stasis, the raw and the processed, noticeable and imperceptible change. the sounds of our own urban and rural environments intersect and merge with sounds generated within the closed worlds of electronic and computer equipment. he has had work published in europe, usa and japan as well as in his native england, collaborated with andrew chalk, colin potter, geoff sawers and tim hill, and has performed in england, australia and the usa. |
