“Talking through a slippa“, Julius Bangert and Harry Neve, explore the incredible versatility of the human voice, embracing sounds that would not generally be considered for music making. From breathy grating atmospheres to rhythmical clusters that bring to mind swarming creatures, to aggressive guttural beats and ecstatic tribal chants. TTAS draw the listener into a fresh and exciting sound world. Visit their website to hear some snippets or their Soundcloud site to hear more.

Wasted Days

“Wasted days” is the debut solo recording from Harry Neve. Mixing live acoustic instrumentation, dubstep esque beats, song writing and soundscapes. It is a highly emotive, achingly honest listening experience but, one that many can relate to living in this modern hedonistic society, privileged, yet cursed by choice. “Wasted Days” can be listened to in full on Harrys SoundCloud site.

Beside the Seaside

Beside the Seaside is a short film co written by actress Sandra Almendros and Harry Neve. Harry shot and edited the film but his main focus was upon sound, both the initial recording and the subsequent post production sound design. The film has little dialogue and no music revealing the potential of sound as a means to evoke emotion and create tension. Music is often used far too much in film and television as a means to make the viewer feel a particular emotion. It is almost cheating as we have been conditioned, for example “Jaws”, the semi tone interval, gradually speeding up instantly creates tension and that same semi tone interval has been used time and time again for exactly that same purpose. It works every time. Upon hearing it one instantly feels tense and you know something is about to happen. In Beside the Seaside only sound is used as a means to evoke emotion and create atmosphere.

Angry Red Light

Angry Red Light was shown at An Exhibition within an Exhibition, The Fringe Basement, Brighton 2oo5. It is just one of a series of films that document Harry’s experimentation with sound and water. Initially inspired by footage filmed in Canary Wharf, London, which captured patterns created by high rise buildings reflecting in rippling water. Angry Red Light is a recreation of this phenomenon but also endeavors to actually have the ripples and the resultant reflections respond directly to sound. The film Angry Red Light is one example of this investigation.

Below are some examples of the visual phenomenon that inspired this experimentation.
