Artist Profile: Daniel Staincliffe

Name/Psedonym:

Daniel Staincliffe

Permanent working location:

Manchester

General working practice:

Conceptual and aleatoric methodologies are employed in order to abdicate some degree of conscious control over the products of my creative practise.

Collections of squirrel footprints, salvaged media and dialogue with Shanghainese passers-by are all examples of my interest in the chance encounter, and call for a re-examination of the known.

Mill24 exhibition:

For Mill24 I will exhibit a sound installation made from found audio from my re-spliced.com project.

Magnetic cassette tape is usually found uncoiled and tangled in weeds or roadside bushes. After carefully collecting these long sparkling strips of obsolete media they can be re-connected to discover the sounds they hold. Chinese pop songs and techno music are some of the examples of content that is audible beneath the warped crackles of an analogue media eroded by the elements.

Mill24 exhibition date:

Saturday 24th April 2010
