TRIGGER audio now available online - vimeo, soundcloud and YouTube

Good news for those who are unable to visit Kielder Water and Forest Park to experience TRIGGER, an audio installation by Pipi Lovell-Smith and me.

The TRIGGER audio is now available to listen to online.

You wouldn't get the full experience because you would miss out on the spectacular scenery that is Kielder Water and Forest Park. But at least you could imagine it!

Even if you are able to get to Kielder, it may be worth downloading the audio incase the weather is bad and there has not been enough solar energy to charge the speaker. If that is the unfortunate situation, at least you could listen to it if you had downloaded it.

It is available on soundcloud, YouTube and Vimeo at the following addresses:

We hope you enjoy it. Let us know what you think.

Two characters engage in a playful physical & psychological battle in which they cause havoc for each other but also find moments of harmony.

An Ode to Creative Work

Although I don't agree fully with all that is said, there are some real truths that deserve to be told.



http://vimeo.com/52184081

Behind every great advancement, in every industry, there is a creative mind. 

Creativity may come easy, but creation is hard. 

The late nights spent trying, and failing, and trying again. 

All the while, holding onto our vision.

Pushing what we see in our mind's eye into the world. 

But our brilliance is being held captive by forces around us and within us. 

Middle men who play us down while marking us up.

Not giving us credit. Getting us to work for free. 

And worse, we get in the way of our own success.

We rely on chance encounters. We’re disorganized and isolated, liable to go unnoticed. 

We can do better. 

When creative minds come together, the sum exceeds all expectations.

We connect, we learn, we critique, and we prosper. 

It's not about money or fame, it's about doing what we love.

It's about creating our greatest work on our own terms.

It’s about realizing that creativity is not just an opportunity - it's a responsibility. 

Here's to unleashing our full potential.

For us, and for the world that awaits what we will do next; Take creative control.
