Biography

Kate Carr is an Associate Lecturer for MA Music Production at London College of Communication.

Kate is a sound artist whose work explores the textures and technologies of field recording using movement, objects and experimental recording techniques. She works across composition, performance and installation.

Kate’s PhD was undertaken at Creative Research into Sound Arts Practice (CRISAP) at London College of Communication. It focused on field recording as a relational practice and examined the specific inflection sound brings to thinking space, and processes of making space.

Kate’s live and compositional work turns to instruments ranging from massage guns, bird horns, watering cans and bubble wrap to build shifting and hybrid soundscapes. She has performed throughout the UK and Europe, with notable performances at the Barbican,Tate Modern and Whitechapel Gallery in London, and Instants Chavires (Paris) AB Salon (Brussels) and Kraftwerk (Berlin).

Her work has been featured on the BBC World Service, Radio 6 and Radio 3, in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Telegraph, Pitchfork and The Wire among other publications.

As part of her practice, Kate runs the experimental label Flaming Pines. Her music can be found on the labels Room40, Mana Records, Helen Scarsdale, Longform Editions as well as on her own label. She is also, along with Iain Chambers, in the duo Rubbish Music.
