Multimedia Artist, Composer, Sound Designer
Joe (He/They) is a Sound Artist and designer using acousmatic composition, field recording and devising techniques to generate collaborations between artists, communities and their sonic identities. Interested in staging the agency between humans and their surroundings in the past and present, Joe creates interactive installations, performances and workshops that combine these groups as partners. Their role as a multimedia creator under the name ‘Cagney.org’ has also led to work in film, online experiences and digital broadcast exploring the mediated identity. Since 2020, Joe has collaborated with numerous performance practitioners and organisations, resulting in the Vaults Origins award winner Dark Matter (The Vault, 2022), Bus stop Goths (2024-2026) and Ultrahydrosonic (Sonic Arts Week)

Further Sound demos
A small collection of ambient sound design pieces created in collaboration with poets and theatre makers across the UK. These ambiences were paired with special shows which only came together once or perhaps twice. While the pieces lay dormant, these artefacts live on.
The best thing about this medium is getting into a room and creating a temporary reality. Even if these pieces were only performed once, these songs have stayed with me. The thought of these decaying in a hard-drive makes me sad, so I've put them on a decaying internet instead.
