Drift Worlds: Sea is the opening transmission from The Listening Bureau, a project exploring environments through sound, memory, and drift. Developed along the UK coastline, this teaser performance draws on field recordings, degraded signals, and shifting textures to evoke the unstable boundary between land and water. Fragments of tide, wind, and distant infrastructure emerge and dissolve, suggesting a landscape in flux. This is not a representation of place, but a reconstruction—part document, part fiction. Presented at Chorlton Arts Festival, this work offers a first glimpse into a wider series of transmissions mapping an imagined Albion.
The launch of a sensory transmission from the Drift Worlds project—an evolving project of ambient, cinematic electronica shaped by memory, landscape, and imagined histories. What emerges is a slow, immersive listening experience, inviting audiences to drift, to notice or not, and to inhabit sound as a space rather than a backdrop. This is not a concert in the traditional form, but a time to relax and listen: a mindful, personal journey through spectral environments, lost signals, and speculative memory.
