Sally Rodgers + Steve Jones (A Man Called Adam)
Sally Rodgers and Steve Jones are sound artists, composers and performers.
Their enduring collaboration includes many licensed works and their
releases, under the artist name A Man Called Adam, are popular with
electronic music fans around the world. They have completed sound
commissions for major museums including The British Museum, The
Miraikan Museum in Tokyo and the BME. Their academic interests
combine their twin passions, electroacoustic music and poetics, and Sally
is conducting doctoral research into technology-led abstraction in oral
forms at the University of St Andrews. Jones’s research, at De Montfort
University, considers the musical potential of gesture and mobile
technologies. They are currently experimenting with a concept which they
describe as ‘talking with spaces’. Improvising with the sounds of
the space they’re in, and generating new sound, from recitation to the
hidden sounds of obsolete technologies, they use real-time processing to
create unique, audible discourses.
