Matthew P. Hopkins and Lucy Phelan at the Science Gallery London Pop Up, basement of Boland House, St Thomas Street, London SE1 9RT (thirty yards from The Shard - underneath McDonald's).
Matthew P. Hopkins and Lucy Phelan
On the 14th October this was a new long-form live radio work for Resonance104.4fm, entitled Shapeless Advice. The piece connected the disturbed ambience that Hopkins and Phelan produce together as the duo Half High. There was elements of Phelan’s desolate industrial soundscapes for video works and Hopkins’s mutated solo tape, electronics, and vocal work, plus a whole lot more radiophonic material prepared especially for their unique performance. It was broadcast live on Resonance104.4fm.
