Stuart is an artist who works in many ways. He is mostly inspired by his love of open air, spaces and places. His interest in sound and the natural rhythms and routines of everyday life have shaped the methodology of his work, which revolves around noises and sounds which he finds, records and processes. He loves to travel, near and far, and the recordings he makes become a document, a sound memory, of his time spent in each place. He often works with individuals or groups to record new sets of sounds and over the years has built up a large archive of recordings which he draws upon to make songs, soundtracks to films and art installations. In this way of working he tries to make sense of the world he lives in and his place within it. Simultaneously, the creations and experiences of others end up intrinsically embedded in his work, creating a rich texture of layers, representing his life and those he as encountered along the way.

Commissions and installation work with Damien Robinson include AWSoM, the ambient weather sound machine, which uses the weather to play back foundsounds from the location in which it is installed, and the Vibe Cube, a public art commission to explore the 'spirit of place' of 3 Essex towns.

In 2008 I made a few soundtracks to short films for Steam Control. In April 2007 I made the soundtrack for The Duellists commissioned by Futuresonic Festival, making all the beats of the soundtrack entirely from sounds found during the filming procedure inside the Manchester Arndale Shopping Centre >

I also recently conceived Metrospect (with KAB) where we mix up 1960's TV infomercials and vinyl to create a live audio/visual mash up.
