On Canon: Those exposed to Cagney often refer to 'Canon'. They take Canon to mean the accepted collection of 'true' information about Cagney. They reject any depiction of Cagney being 'more true' than others. As personal encounters with Cagney are limited, 'Truth' is instead garnered by aspects of Cagney that appear consistently, through shared interest and witness accounts. get me back to...

Are you an artist or a venue who is wondering what the point all of this is? Find out why. Why? Bypass: From Galleries and Theatres to online communities, as a shape-shifting project, Cagney is built to help makers break into new spaces, slipping past gatekeepers and disciplinary boundaries. Through this, our makers can experiment with new forms and relationships with their work. Showcase: Cagney reveals projects through digital and analogue events, giving artists a chance to show and potentially monetise their work, as part of a larger exhibition or performance. Connect: Making can be lonely. As a series of collaborations, makers are able to swap notes and fill in the blanks others leave. Albums turn into virtual experiences, graphic designs turn into 3D textures. Experiment: Fuelled by interactions that blur the line between creator and audience member, Cagney is a space to explore new forms of audience interaction and collective creation. Anything else? The Cagney project is always looking for ways to give artists better value for their work, and make it as accessible and attractive as possible for newcomers. So if you have any ideas, or requests for those involved in the project, we are all ears!

Joe Browning Click here for full CV Multimedia Artist, Composer, Sound Designer An interdisciplinary artist, sound designer and founder of Cagney 2020: a multimedia experiment synthesising digital technology with live community arts. Cagney has appeared in virtual installations, visual art and live performances, all aiming to re-purpose the tools of mass media to support collective creation. Joe is a composer and performer, creating for theatre productions and film across England and internationally, using original production and archival sound to explore media’s role in forming memory and identity. See more below: Sound Art Audio experiences presented in Theatres and galleries Live Sonics Sound design and composition for Live performance, made in collaboration with directors and performers, using synthesis, archival media and original recordings. Visual Composition Sound Design and Composition for Film Constructs Installations/Toy theatres exhibited in galleries and museums Research Residencies and collaborations exploring sound and multimedia 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.

I am the Bomb Union Theatre, Riverside Studios, Queens Park Art Centre 'I Am the Bomb' is a daring and experimental play inspired by Lewis’s struggle with depression and SSRI-induced psychosis, set against the backdrop of an unexploded WWII bomb found near his London flat in 2018. Click here to the the audience reaction On the show: After creating a series of shows getting to grips with generative synths and sample manipulation, I wanted to put more limits in place. This started with my housemate and collaborator Alexandros Paneris, who found a free, funkily out of tune piano on facebook. Speaking with the director Lewis Miles, we wanted to ground the design in the auditory hallucinations of the protagonist. Key words from these discussions for me were sounds of touch and distant noises in an apartment complex. This led to me setting an hour timer, and me and alex doing anything with this piano besides playing it- feeling the mechanisms of the piano, creating sounds along it’s wood panels and lightly depressing the keys. After this, we took turns playing piano inspired by these key words, and the strange atmosphere this long form task had created. This led to the bulk of sound of the show, using these vaguely intimate sounds that would collect meaning from the text onstage, creating subliminal messages and innuendo, as the sounds came across as movements next door, or memories from years before. Once the groundwork of the design had been created, I also drew from vintage sound effects- vinyls created to depict the UK’s constructed memory of the war and the ‘good old day’s that followed. This allowed the music to follow the spectrum of our character’s dissociation from reality across the piece. Sound Design with your friends! A how to: do what you need to do to get a sense of the world of the play, then try and translate that into feelings, movements, objects. This might get something like 'wood, velvet sofa, brushing' etc. Now find an object, activity etc that you think will evoke this, like a form of foley design, but for less tangible things than footsteps or murder. Now, with your friend(s) find a way to record this object, set a 30-60 minute timer and discover together what sounds you can get from it with as little verbal communication as possible. Try and start by not using the object as intended, saving that for when the timer is over. With luck, this will give you a palette of sounds that seem of the same world; the start of your design.

Ricky the Itch ARC Stockton, Alphabetti Theatre "Ricky the Itch is a piece of queer solo performance that combines a youthful coming of age story, with gothic shanty town folk lore." Click here to the the audience reaction On the show: In our R+D phase (ricky and development), we started with sampling a lot from old horror movies and creating horrific sounds ourselves. The homemade stuff really stuck. We went through a lot of ideas in what to include, but we ended with the following key words: Grungy, folky, cartoonish. This show was given the space to grow organically in the end, with me and writer-director-performer Audrey Cook creating the piece as we went, riffing lines for villagers while Audrey explored the key ideas they wanted to tackle; exploring queer identity in relationship to horror and creatures, exploring how they related more to Disney’s villains, goblins and demons more than prince or princess charming. I became the narrator, fusing Plankton (that one) and verbose announcers to create this campy companion to Ricky, these lines were recorded and fired via qlab. Aided with on-the-nose exposition and a variety of musical styles, sound became key in creating a cartoon-like pace in the 45 minute production, moving across all of Stockton and beyond while Ricky prowled around our set (a large Bin). This was my first use of AI- isolating vocals to remix pop songs into creepy renditions and cabaret appropriate intensities. Note on live recorded voicover: This is best done directed by the performer and director, so each line is tailored to the intentions of the performer. This may feel tough for the voicover artiste, but it means the performer is intimately aware of the appropriate delivery to elicit the correct voicover reaction, and the performer has it their way, rather than the other way around.
