Dallas Simpson #1 - Lynton Windscape Improvisation

Dallas Simpson has worked since the 1990s as an environmental location performance sound artist improvising live on location, listening and performing with found objects and surfaces. Works are usually recorded live on location in a single take using custom in-ear binaural techniques. These 3-D perceptual recordings are ideally heard through headphones for a full surround sound experience.

An environmental freeform location performance improvisation recorded from 5:45am on 10/10/18 in strong gusting winds. Using gathered stone fragments from the Valley of Rocks nearby as sounding tools to interrogate objects and surfaces, this work explores a personal encounter with the physical environment in the Devonshire town of Lynton. Found sound objects and surfaces include various metal railings, scaffolding with plastic, walls, wooden seat, wall nails and pavement drain covers. Contains strong ear wind noise as part of the composition.
