amexperimental attic #7 | Scott McLaughlin

Scott McLaughlin presents three days performance & installation, exploring the potential sound resonances across the space.

Open studio & public performance Tuesday 1st March. 18.00 – 19.00. Free to participate.

Scott McLaughlin presents three longform performance installations, with a different piece each evening, but all working with indeterminacy, emergence, and resonance. All three involve a performer exploring a field of potentials, searching for patterns and revealing hidden structures in the resonant spaces of the instrument’s material. The first evening is for ‘found’ percussion + electronics, where the resonances of a range of metal objects (pipes, spanners, wheel jacks) are revealed and spun-out by electronics in a sustained harmony. The second evening is for prepared piano and feedback resonators. The third evening explores feedback and movement, exploring the invisible network of potential resonances across the space.


Scott McLaughlin (b.1975) is an Irish composer/improviser based in Huddersfield (UK). He started as an experimental guitarist before studying music at Belfast then Huddersfield. Scott lectures in composition and practice research at the University of Leeds. He researches contingency and indeterminacy in the physical materiality of sound.
