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.
