Volume Objects

Volume Objects is David Newman, a UK electronic music composer who is based in Sheffield (UK). His work incorporates a wide range of sources including textural sound design, orchestration, space and fragments of found sound or field recordings. Tracks focus on representing details from both the natural and man-made world. Each detail has the potential to be preserved or lost, clarified or confused. This means that any audio element, including elements from his own body become incorporated into the composition. This fascination on the interplay between inner and outer world embodies Volume Objects' sound. There is an intimate, intense and enmeshed sense of connection with tiny details (e.g., dust on vinyl, a door opening, heart beats, breathing, snoring). The name Volume Objects represents a fascination with amplification and the ability to magnify tiny sounds and bring the previously unheard into focus. As well as solo works there have been great opportunities to write with others who I admire and respect as artists and people. Monogoto is a creative partnership with Ian Hawgood and Porya Hatami. Soft Generator is a partnership with the wondeful Erik Schoster/He Can Jog. Volume Objects / Autistici / Monogoto / Soft Generator
