ARTISTIC POLICY
Ray Lee is an artist, composer, and performer who makes music that moves. Over the past twenty-five years he has made work that includes performance, installation, composition, and photography. His work investigates his fascination with the hidden world of electromagnetic radiation and in particular how sound can be used as evidence of invisible phenomena. He is interested in how science and philosophy represent the universe, and his work questions orthodoxies that emerge and submerge, according to currently fashionable trends.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
A thrumming, choral soundscape…bees buzzed, church bells chimed and the harmonies of cosmic spheres lapped round my meanderings.
Glasgow Herald
A choir of rotating sirens, their strident voices congealing into a thick mutating chord that trapped listeners in its sticky flux.
The Wire
An amazing spectacle.
Daily Telegraph

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Siren
A whirling, spinning spectacle of mechanical movement, sound and light. Silent performers move within a forest of metal tripods, whose rotating loudspeakers weave a ethereal, hypnotic sound world.
