Lee works with space, energy and intention.
Installation, Performance, Sound and Film – all relate back to the space in which they are conceived/presented.
Lees practice is informed by a long relationship with Japanese Butoh dance, working in this world constantly for 15 years nurtured a fascination with energetic and intention based practices including TaiChi and QiGong and the way in which they relate to peformance/installation.
Current works include a string of solo and collaborative installations and performances around the UK, Scandinavia and worldwide.
Lees involvment with the Inner Ear performance collective and working at our base the Tank in northern Sweden is a constant inspiration.
Multi channel/speaker sound delivery systems are currently under investigation, and Lee’s endless wanderings in the domain of space modulating sound (sound mirrors, standing waves, resonant frequencies, phonic crystals, reverb, echo, etc) continues…
Väki a performance at the Tank in Sweden was streamed live to the SIML (soinc immersion media Lab) at Goldsmiths University in Sept 2024, Providing sound for the Sound Sphere in the USA, developing the Phonick crystal with the Physics dept of Bath University are all current installation/performance projects and a Tank album finally approaches completion !
A new collaboration in a tidal swimming pool on the Thames estuary with the Arbonauts has been commissioned – Summer 2025 is performance date – watch this space… Expect performance, a giant bespoke sound setup, a score written entirely from Thames estuary sounds…. Oh my….
Lee is a part of the Inner Ear performance art collective and is a part owner of the Tank in Sweden (the Tank is a huge circular oil storage vessel with a 24 second reverb and we use it as a massive musical instrument which we play from the inside).
Recording and performance takes place at the Tank most summers around midsummer.
Lee teaches Qi Gong on an informal basis most weeks on Wednesday a.m. please email for class details (Class both in person and online via Zoom).
An interest in water sources and brewing have led to Lee brewing bespoke brews from waters collected in unusual places – bespoke and tonick brews are available for your your event/celebration.
See the previous page for details of some previous works.
For over 15 years Lee worked constantly with Sweden’s SU-EN Butoh Co both writing and developing sound scores and choreographies and touring the world performing in a range of venues from Yerevan to Quito, London to New York and Tokyo to Cancun.
This relationship helped Lee to develop the method that he uses to investigate sound, space, intention and interaction with audience.
