'Well here I am' is a 30 minute work developed for radio transmission as part of Radiophrenia 2017 open call.
Broadcast live from Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts on 18th November 2017 @ 8:30 pm - 9:00 pm.
Programme Notes:
A perpetual feeling that I'm going to need to justify myself. Like I am waiting for some inevitable confrontation. Well here I am, I imagine I'll say.
‘Well here I am’ is a soundscape which explores response to emotional stimulation in the context of past experience. Trauma and anxiety are themes in the work, specifically in relation to our construction of memory and engagement with new events. ‘Well here I am’ is formed from a series of improvised electronic pieces which have been reconstructed in a single take to create a work for radio.

Artist Information:
Adam Kinsey is an artist working primarily with electronic and processed sound. His practice has a focus on improvisation. Whilst ideas may be developed and cultivated the final production is often a document of a single event. Editing is limited leaving the finished product riddled with all it's inherent flaws and imperfections. Utilising compositional methods where elements interrelate in a variety of ways introduces complexity, unexpected results or induces patterns of familiar behaviour. Working with ideas of memory, lived experience and our emotional responses to stimulus his work often has an underlying fragility and fractured state.
This collection of six fiddle songs is dark in color and mood, with Mattrey treating her instrument with ghostly digital effects. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 26, 2021
