Clay Cameras<\/em> was created from audio recordings made on a single day in 2005 \u2013 sounds from assorted items I found in my apartment, or on the nearby Thames foreshore. A low tide trip to the riverbed resulted in a hoard of tobacco clay pipe stems that had been discarded in the river centuries earlier. The slender tubes make a beautiful tinkling sound when struck or rubbed together. I also recorded and processed sounds from a clockwork cine film camera, some gurgling noises from the back of my fridge and a long since forgotten item as it swung to-and-fro on a door handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had been making sonic contributions every month to Tetsuo Kogawa\u2019s “Radio Kinesonus” project in Tokyo since 2003 (over the telephone!); Jacques Foschia was a Kinesonus co-contributor, and it was he who invited me to provide a \u2018pastille\u2019 to the \u201cSilenceRadio\u201d online audio project in 2005. \u201cClay Cameras\u201d was my gift to him. I made a second composition called \u201cTKU London\u201d from other recordings from that same day;  I played \u201cTKU London\u201d to Kogawa-san\u2019s students at Tokyo Keizai University in an early internet audio streaming event during the same year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
