Florence Scott-Anderton is a multidisciplinary artist currently based in Berlin. Born and raised in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, she studied Film & Television at London College of Communication, graduating with a specialism in Directing. Her works are primarily voiced in sonic narratives, told through sound collage. Finding thematic threads through certain areas of cinema, popular culture, the mundane and family archive, she expands upon these to create immersive stories told through editing and recontextualising found audio, shining a light on throwaway (or lost) sounds by giving them a new, sincere space.
Her practice has also included essay writing, short-form experimental video and live performance, radio and DJing. Scott-Anderton’s NTS radio residency Sounds on Screen (alongside her cinematic sound collages and accompanying essays for MUBI Notebook magazine) has helped spearhead the possibilities of sonic storytelling through thematic reappraisal within sound collage. Her first independently released work, A Requiem for Prime Time TV, released on A Colourful Storm’s Fleetway Tapes imprint delves further into her singular sonic world-building.
