The Storm TONSPUR, Micro Museum for Sound, MQ Vienna, Austria 2021. In collaboration with artist Lubaina Himid.
8-channel sound installation (16 minutes duration) & series of 7 posters (59 x 84 cm) displayed in the Museum Quarter in Vienna.

And with the storm came a warning

But you have not been listening

I am the thunder

You will hear me

Combining field recordings and spoken word, Lubaina Himid and I have collaborated to create a sound piece to conjure up a message of urgency.
But, whose words are being spoken?
And have you been listening?
