“my work uses a variety of formats to explore place, sounds outside of our attention and our response to located elements and experience. Threads and traces, mapping fasination, self trust, community and sensory, intuitive response. Clearing the dust of bias and perceptions of place. I work extensively with micro and durational listening / traces of objects, spaces and situations, texts and photographic scores.”

Alongside performances and exhibitions Jez gives talks and runs workshops on listening / located sound as an art form and has developed a range of specialist microphones and techniques widely used across sound culture.

Work has included commissions and performances for Tate Modern & Tate Britain (UK), Paradise Air (Japan), MoT - Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (Japan), Spikersuppa Lydgalleri, Oslo (Norway), Baltic (UK), Steklenik (Slovenia), Catalyst Arts (N. Ireland), The Whitworth Gallery (UK) , Artisphere (USA), Harpa (Iceland), Mengi (Iceland), The Wired Lab (Australia), Mullae Art Space (Korea), q-02 (Belgium), Matsudo Science Art Festival / Ftarri & Permian (Japan) etc.
