This lecture and presentation was held on Sunday, 26 February
2023, at SONOHR.

In his presentation Mark Vernon explores the world of audio
archaeology, magnetic memory, lost voices and found sounds
through the lens of his practice as a sound artist. At the core
of his practice lies a fascination with the intimacy of the radio
voice, environmental sound, obsolete media and the
reappropriation of found recordings. A rich collection of
domestic tape recordings; audio letters, dictated notes,
answer-phone messages and other lost voices often find their way
into his unorthodox soundworlds and these diverse elements are
distilled into radiophonic compositions.

Mark Vernon is a Glasgow based artist. A keen advocate of radio
as an art form, he co-runs and curates Glasgow’s art radio
station, Radiophrenia. Since 2011 he has co-run Lights Out
Listening Group – a bi-monthly listening event focused on
creative uses of sound and radio that takes place in complete
darkness. His solo music projects have been published through
different labels.
