Hi, I'm George. I work in and around broadcasting, the arts, experimental music, and side-stream progressive culture. I'm fascinated by the ways these interact and intersect. As an artist I try to help carry out creative visions 🌊 first & foremost.
A few strands to what I do:
|
+ Broadcaster & Radio Host (on BBC Merseyside & Melodic Distraction)
+ Creative Digital Technologist (live streaming as an emergent art form) + Online/Hybrid Events Producer (turning in-person moments into their internet equivalents) + Cross-Discipline Precariat (casual work as audio & video editor, technician, producer and administrator) + artist & x-musician (should be self-explanatory) → Freelancer ← (self-employed in all of the above) A couple of links for listening: two Artist Focus programmes on Suzanne Vega, and Joni Mitchell, both for Melodic Distraction Radio
For working life enquiries please email Central Services

Below is a scroll's worth of things I have been involved with, helped to facilitate, or otherwise partaken in - particularly online - over the past two years or so.

• A live-streamed video mix of Lake Turner & Sam Wiehl's hybrid performance at Future Yard (available to view on Kompakt's channel). I vision-mixed this live streamed concert of Lake Turner and Sam Wiehl in June 2021, featuring 3D sculptures by Ana Drucker – taking place predominantly in Wiehl's vast, spectacularly-imagined virtual hyper~world, as well as in Wirral venue Future Yard. Deep space states await. Enjoy a recap above, or more from that night with Lo Five's live set here.

• Recently worked as Digital Producer on this performance by mayfield brooks, Mary Pearson and Seke Chimutengwende for Independent Dance. The artists were in 3 different cities, and it was ID's first ever live-streamed event. I mixed the video sources live while feeding a selection of their images into a projector, which was in turn filmed and streamed live simultaneously.
• Every other Monday I host Melodic Distraction radio's Mornings With programme from 10am-12pm. It's a yarn, I used to broadcast from home, now I'm fortunate enough to use the MDR HQ in person – and as often as I can, with a guest.
• Facilitating this live-streamed concert-from-home was super fun. It features Raft of Trash, Marta Forsberg and myself performing at the Painted Oasis.
• Work-in-progress for Metal's Future Network Shorts series, originally broadcast on Instagram Live, this is ongoing: Psychedelic Capitalism v2.0
• The first incarnation of PsychCapital. W-I-P for Metal Culture. Live performance Psychedelic Capitalism filmed at Kazimier Stockroom, November 2019
• I took part in this crucial conservation exercise and durational performance at Tate Liverpool in April 2019. Ten Years Alive On The Infinite Plain formed part of Open Culture's LightNight 2019 and Tate's Reshaping the Collectible.
