Mark Vernon explores concepts of audio archaeology, magnetic memory and nostalgia through his sound works. 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. These diverse elements are distilled into radiophonic compositions for broadcast, multi-channel diffusion, fixed media and live performances. A keen advocate of radio as an art form, he co-runs and curates Glasgow’s art radio station, Radiophrenia.

Works for radio by Mark Vernon and friends, comprising The Tonic Garden - A Sonic Survey Of Soothing Sounds; Audiology for Beginners; The Eldwitch Transmissions (with Barry Burns); Continue Without Losing Consciousness; and Vernon & Burns Hour.
