Joseph Young - Sound
As a sound designer and composer, Joseph won the 1992 Carling London Fringe Award for his work on "The Ballad of the Limehouse Rat" by Tim Newton. Recent composition work includes the soundtrack for a Friday Play for BBC Radio 4, "Full Blown" and the title theme and incidental music for a documentary series for ITV Meridian, "St Dunstans".
Current practice involves the use of field recording and manipulated soundscapes utilising Ableton Live and radiaL. Recent commissions include a sound installation for iPods at the Redoubt Fortess in Eastbourne. His work has been broadcast on "Framework" on Resonance FM, and on Aaron Ximm's "One Minute Vacation" at www.quietamerican.org.
Recently co-led, with Jocasta Lucas, two series of workshops at Priory School, Lewes for the Sonic Postcards project. From this, they have set up a new net label for phonography and sound art at www.fieldrecording.org.uk, and collaborated on a performance at the Whitechapel Gallery, London.
In 2005, he completed a research MA at the University of Brighton with his installation "The Family Album" - a reflective narrative combining spoken word and binaural location recording; and re-staged and re-imagined at Victoria Baths in Manchester as part of Sonic Arts Network Expo 2006.
