careful arrangments of sonic rubbish




KINDLING is an evolving publication series exploring the intersection of digitally shared sound, and printed image and text, each placed together or against the other to see/hear what might happen. Through this process, KINDLING works to open a site of conversation for a community of makers, listeners and readers. While its material form may be less-than-precious, ephemeral and even recyclable, we hope the ideas, feelings or actions it may encourage will remain.


KINDLING is a new venture for me, publishing the work of other artists, which I hope will evolve to explore new forms of what a “sound-art publication” might be and develop into a site for a form of sound-community conversation through making. Each edition takes form as a printed newspaper (289x380m) accompanied by a downloadable digital audio work.

While KINDLING will be tightly curated, reflecting my own particular interests and biases, I will remain open to proposals and ideas. However, my funds are limited, and while I hope KINDLING'S scope will be expanded and broad, it will also remain somewhat tightly specific. If you have a project or an idea which works with or challenges the relationship between sound-image-text; that re-thinks what form published sound-based works might take; and is not a document of something else, but acts as the artwork itself … then we would be very interested to hear from you. I f you have a fantastic piece of music with an equally great cover-image for its packaging, we are perhaps not the project for you. Thank you for your understanding.

All KINDLING editions will only be available in physical form with digital audio files via a download code until sold out. After which they will be made available digitally.
