An afternoon exploring the sonic intricacies of garbage featuring the debut of Rubbish Music (Kate Carr + Iain Chambers) and a solo set by Tom White. This event examines the rotting, decaying, disassembled and reimagined rubbish we devour, destroy, discard and repurpose. From the bins of Dalston to the concert stage, join us as we create a soundscape from the area’s least loved materials.
The matinee show will feature four sets: Tom White (solo), Rubbish Music (duo) and two short solos by Iain Chambers and Kate Carr.
Kate Carr is a London-based sound artist and researcher working across composition, performance and installation. Her practice explores field recording as both a creative method and a way of understanding relationships between people, environments and technologies. Through recording, listening, performance and the construction of instruments from discarded materials, she examines the ambiguities of recorded sound and the shifting boundaries between documentation, fiction and encounter.
Central to her work is an ongoing practice deploying recording protocols: score-like systems, actions and constraints that structure how recordings are gathered. Her work draws on the sound of public spaces, infrastructural vibrations and hybrid environments.
Carr performs internationally and runs the sound art label Flaming Pines. She is a member of the duos Rubbish Music (with Iain Chambers) and Quartz Sand (with Cath Roberts).

Iain Chambers is a London-based composer and producer whose work explores specific locations and their changing sounds across history, as in his 2017 work The House of Sound, and 2018’s City of Women.
Iain's work is heard live in concerts, radio, sound installations and multimedia. His feature-length symphonies of industrial sounds have been commissioned by BBC Radio 3, WDR, ABC Australia.
In 2019 Iain launched the independent record label Persistence of Sound: a new space for musique concrète, field recordings, and the uncategorizable sounds in between.
In 2003 Iain co-founded Langham Research Centre, an electronic music ensemble using obsolete Cold War era technology to compose new music. The group also create new realisations of 20th century electronic works by composers including John Cage, Alvin Lucier and Christian Wolff, using an unusual analogue instrumentarium.
Tom White is an artist focusing predominantly on sound-based practices such as live performance, installation, recordings, composition for dance and film. He is interested in the physicality and phenomena of sound; how it can be felt by the body and experienced in architectural space. Past projects include commissions and appearances for Radiophrenia, Glasgow (CCA); BRAUBLFF (KRAAK & De Player); Whitechapel Gallery, London & Colour out of Space Festival, Brighton. Recent collaborators include Surface Area Dance Theatre, Maya Dunietz, Ben Knight, Renato Grieco and Lia Mazzari. He has performed extensively across the UK and Europe, travelled to North America and Japan and had work published by labels such as Takuroku (Cafe OTO), Glistening Examples, Vitrine, Chocolate Monk, Calling Cards Publishing and South London Gallery. He won the British Composer Award in 2014 (Sonic Art) for Public Address, commissioned by South London Gallery.
