To an Independent Listener (2013)
Single channel digital film | 45 mins
Commissioned by the University of Manchester
To an Indepdent Listener was created to accompany to a soundscape of various work for television and radio by the electronic composer Delia Derbyshire, including several recordings of previously unheard work which are currently protected by Delia’s estate and the archive at the University. I split the soundscape into 21 sections and produced a different short film to accompany each. The film was made using a combination of found, adapted and original footage.


The film was premiered in September 2013 and has since toured the UK with DD Day to six UK cities including Horse Hospital (London), Cube Microplex (Bristol), Norwich Arts Centre, North Wall Arts Centre (Oxford) and Anthony Burgess Foundation (Manchester).
