James Welburn

James Welburn's latest project is an experimental audio visual work featuring music, field recordings and filmed footage captured and processed by James Welburn in Svalbard during three residencies between October 2022 and October 2023. The former arctic mining settlements of Svalbard contrasts ancient gritty surfaces, post- industrial wastelands and epic natural beauty. Set amidst an enchanting ecology whose atmosphere is fused with geo-political tensions, surveillance technology and the pending repercussions of climate change as natures great forces lie in wait. An immersive concert experience that resonates with the environment, where questions can arise and be reflected upon.
