Description:
A moment remembered is a moment anew. A collection of selected moments becoming the foundation and building of a new moment. A present moment rolling into and inspiring the next. A moment existing in-between the passing and the approaching, linked yet unique.
Hear One Near and Think of the Other (performance) was a durational work at MK Gallery inviting the experience and notion of a moment through sound, space and time. Two large spaces inhabiting a single speaker each, were joined by the performing mimosa|moize and a third space. Visitors were invited to explore and relish in the moment found both in each space and sound experienced within the gallery. Each gallery space served as an architectural extension to the ears of the performers, allowing sound positioning to both follow and depart from those moving within and around the gallery space.
Hear One Near and Think of the Other stands as a recent work in an ongoing interest in the notion of a moment. Originally a concept created for a live performance, this composition variation further explores the perception and interaction of a moment through sound specifically. In utilising the documentation of the previous performance, these moments passed are revisited through the act of listening and remembering. This process is to then form the foundation and building towards the creation of new moments, yet staying faithful to both the past and to the approaching.
Hear One Near and Think of the Other was originally realised as a one and a half hour performance at MK Gallery in 2011.
About Mimosa | Moize
mimosa|moize is the minimal music project of artists Lucia H. Chung (Taiwan) and Martin J. Thompson (UK).
Their ongoing relationship with sound is one shared both with perceivers and each other. Through exploring their experiences with sound as it is perceived, they wish to convey sound as a language, expressing to the other a sharing of a moment where sound becomes more than just sounding.
mimosa|moize has released with Mumur Records (JP) and Dragon’s Eye Recordings (USA).

Description:
Commissioned Soundtrack for ‘Kathryn Thomas Lightyears 2009′.
Kathryn Thomas Lightyears 2009 unveiled Kathryn Thomas’s ambitious project Darkspace. Funded by the award she was granted from the Pollock Krasner Foundation of New York the exhibition showcased a commissioned soundtrack by Bristol based sound artist and composer Simon Whetham.
For Darkspace the composition was experienced as a 7.1 surround sound installation comprising elements of music Kathryn had found inspirational over her 25 years as an artist, in addition to field recordings from research trips the two of them undertook in Iceland, the sounds of Kathryn painting in her studio and other less obvious sources…
These include recordings of the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), shipping forecasts and transmissions from NASA.
The composition provided an immersive soundtrack to the Darkspace element of ‘Kathryn Thomas Lightyears 2009′.
This release contains a stereo mixdown of the commissioned soundtrack, mastered by Robin Rimbaud, aka Scanner, who has been a strong supporter of Simon’s work for many years. The Aurora recordings appear courtesy of Stephen P McGreevey.
Originally released on Traceable Echoes (TreEc001).
Published by Touch Music (MCPS).
