Spending a large part of his childhood playing with reel-to-reel tape and listening to shortwave radio, it was inevitable that sound creation and manipulation would be part of Michael Benneyworth’s multidisciplinary artistic practice. His sound art works are concerned with the sounds themselves: ways of creating sounds, how sounds inform space and assembled sound collages rather than song forms. Past works include the construction of acoustic devices ranging from small instruments to large installations. Michael’s current projects are focused on the recording and performance of electronic music and he has performed solo and with various experimental music groups.
