Bad Timing: Dushume + there are no birds here + Tom Daley
29th October 2024
DUSHUME
Amit Dinesh Patel, aka Dushume, is an experimental noise and sound artist, influenced by Asian underground music and DJ culture. His work focuses on performing and improvising with purpose built do-it-yourself instruments, and recording these instruments incorporating looping, re-mixing and re-editing techniques. Lack and loss of control are central to his work.
His releases include ‘Disruptive Frequencies’ on nonclassical, alongside NikNak, Dhangsha and Poulomi Desai. His spatialised sound composition work was also diffused at West Road Concert Hall as part of electro//acoustic day, Cambridge Festival 2024.

He has a PhD in Music, “Studio Bench: the DIY nomad and Noise Selector” (2019), from the Music, Technology and Innovation Research Centre, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK. He is a Senior Lecturer in Music and Sound and an active member of the Sound/Image Research Centre at the University of Greenwich, London.
THERE ARE NO BIRDS HERE
Matt Shenton is an experimental musician, sound artist and performer whose work explores the rural landscape of Suffolk. He works using manipulated field recordings, homemade instruments, music concrete and modified electronics salvaged from potential landfill to create textural explorations of timbre with instinctive, chance-based arrangements that mimic the rural soundscape. His work has been featured on radio shows including Stuart Maconie’s Freak Show on BBC 6Music, Graham Dunning’s Fractal Meat show on NTS, Zoviet France’s Duck in a Tree show on Resonance FM and the black_ops show on Camp FR.
TOM DALEY
Tom Daley works on instruments where sound is the interface, performing with controlled feedback systems and signal processors. He is interested in taking performance outside of venues and is a member of the speaker spinning ensemble SOS. Based in Cambridge, he has recently performed at Iklectik and Hundred Years Gallery in London, sharing stages with the likes of Howlround and Marie Roux (O YAMA O). He was recently seen for bad timing at Quip & Curiosity studio supporting Kate Carr.
