Jacob Dwyer - ‘Tom’s House’
Jacob Dwyer is a writer and artist who works with collected sound/field recordings, audio and writing. His work centres around personal encounters that could equally be seen as fables or heresy.
For this event Jacob Dwyer will present his most recent audio-drama; ‘Tom’s House’:
We listen to the meanderings of someone who’s returned home for the first time in 15 years. Walking up Haddon Drive he spots the house of an old friend, Tom. The front door is open, so he goes inside. Wandering around the empty Tudor cottage - making cups of tea, rearranging CD collections and zoning in on the minutiae of domestic space - he ruminates on ideas of emotional intimacy, friendship and grief.

Phantom Wizard’s sound draws from a rich tapestry of influences, weaving together textures of nature with ambient, free jazz, minimal, electronic, and the vibrant sonic palette of the Caribbean, offering a fresh perspective in contemporary music.
