Our associate artists join us on specific projects, bringing their skills in sound, performance, foley, research, and workshop practice.

Frazer Merrick

Frazer is a sound artist who uses field recording, circuit bending and instrument building to create carnivalesque sonic experiences. Frazer’s work is curious, interactive and collaborative. He’s played a gig underwater, built a banana piano, and created the Photon Smasher, a microphone for listening to light.

Ruth Sullivan

Ruth is the "go to" Foley Artist for live theatre sound. She trained at The Arts Educational School, Tring Park, then completed an Honours degree in Theatre Arts and Media in Exmouth before moving to London to begin her acting career, where she became a Foley Artist. She has since worked on hundreds of films and TV dramas and formed her own dance company, Gravitas, before joining the Tower Theatre Company.

Ria Wilson

Collaborative, adaptable, and motivated, Ria's practice as a workshop facilitator is rooted in sonic arts, community arts, and education, drawing on experience in workshop facilitation, community event production, and volunteering with vulnerable adults and LGBTQ youth groups.

Rob Mullender-Ross

Rob Mullender-Ross teaches sound, construction for film and television, and critical/contextual studies on the Live Events and Television, Sound Arts and Design BAs at London College of Communication. He received his PhD from CRiSAP, where he explored how light could synthesise sound. Rob produces sculpture, sound, 2D, performance and moving image works when he can. Most recently, he has performed Minor Conspiracy for adapted reed organ and eight breathing participants, and Ex Voto - a piece for 6 metres of nickel-chromium wire and mains electricity - in response to the Brunel Tunnel Shaft in Rotherhithe, London. He has exhibited and presented research internationally and in the UK, and was a Leverhulme Artist in Residence at the Brunel Museum in London.

Alice Kemp

Alice Kemp explores an idiosyncratic praxis involving experimental music, audio composition, public/private performance, installation, drawing, writing, lo-fi video, and object making. Her work draws on subtle states of trance, dream, and disturbance. She has presented live art internationally and released audio/musical works through independent labels such as Fragment Factory (DE), Harbinger Sound (UK), Erratum (FR), Tochnit Aleph (DK), the Helen Scarsdale Agency (USA), Dead Mind Records (NL), and Coherent States (GR). Kemp is a Schimpfluch affiliate and a human ex-voto, living and working in Devon, England.

Hayley Suviste

Hayley’s practice is grounded in listening: to people, environments, and the stories and memories they hold. She works with oral histories, field recordings, and moving image gathered through her own practice, community workshops, or archival sources. From these materials, she weaves sonic and visual worlds through installation, live performance, and long-form audio-visual and radiophonic work. Often using multi-channel and ambisonic sound, she creates environments that place the listener within them, where quieter details come into focus.
