a performance involving speech material, field recordings and live music, that revolves around experiences of beginnings and endings - rocking between the everyday and the ecological.
Phil Smith brings together interview material, found sound, field recordings and live music to ‘set’ the words of a selection of poems, both classical and contemporary.
Phil Smith is a musician and radio producer based in Brighton. He makes features and documentaries for BBC Radio and his debut solo album will be released on London’s Kit Records in July. For this performance he is joined by Tullis Rennie.

Muscle Memory is Tullis Rennie’s invitation to join him in the act of listening to listening. He presents listening as an event, an experience that is individual and also shared. He invites you, the listener, to consider yourself as a collaborator. To consider recordings as autobiographical accounts and collective cultural documentation. To understand music as a performance in which we are all implicated and involved, whether by playing, buying, streaming, dancing, or listening.
Tullis Rennie is a composer, improvising trombonist, electronic musician, and field recordist. His work encompasses sound installation, community-engaged participative projects, multi-channel concert works, video, mixed media and live/improvised performances.
