Mark Fell

21 April 2014 – 02 May 2014

Mark Fell is a multidisciplinary artist based in Sheffield (UK). He is widely known for combining popular music styles such as electronica and techno with more computer-based compositions, with a particular emphasis on algorithmic and mathematical systems. His recent musical practice has become increasingly informed by non-Western music; this is evident in two linked works, Multistability and UL8, which explore a number of unfamiliar timing and tuning systems.
In addition to his recorded works, Fell produces installation pieces, often using multiple speaker systems. His work in this area is characterized by “non-illusion based” approaches, where multiple waveshapes are spatially distributed to form complex synthetic sonic environments. The diversity and importance of Fell’s practice is reflected in the range and scale of international institutions that present his work—from large super clubs such as Berghain (Berlin) to the Hong Kong National Film and Sound Archive, among others.
He received an honorary mention in the digital music category at Prix ARS Electronica, and was shortlisted for the Quartz award for his contributions to research in digital music. In addition to his creative practice, Fell has been involved in a number of academic research projects ranging from computer science to musicology, and as a curator he is widely recognized for his contributions to the development of experimental electronic music in Europe

Project in residence

No puedo arreglar lo que tú estropeaste

Both the residency and the work to be produced are part of the L.E.V. 2014 programme, a festival co-produced by LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial

Mark Fell will develop a multi-channel piece with the permanent team of the Sound LAB. During his residency, the British artist intends to explore the set of spatial possibilities of the future installation, not only addressing technical questions, but also visual and perception questions. This work is specific at spatial level, in other words, it is developed for the architectural design of the LAB and will act as a sound installation based on algorithmic music and mathematics.
