Zero-g

Will Sergeant is best known for his work in pop combo Echo and the Bunnymen, but he also has strong tieswith the experimental side of life, in the form of performances and records as Glide. He has also worked with Skyray Liverpool's minimalist sound dabblers and Longstone Cheltenham's finest purveyor of bleeps.

ZERO is a limited edition collection of one-minute soundworks by international sound artists, experimental composers, noise makers and other audio creators. Contributors were invited to create an original recording of one-minute duration for the CD on the theme of ZERO – whether through their stripped-down, low-tech aesthetic or a focus on themes of absence, abstraction, distortion or a sense of thereshold between one state and another.

The CD contains a broad variety of one-minute soundworks and presents the results of artists working thematically in chance juxtaposition.

By bringing together this calibre and range of contributions, ZETRO aims to stimulate further interest in the artist work and practice, debate and dialogue surrounding sound art. The artists on ZERO range from well known world figures, to individuals and groups making their first wirks in this field.

ZERO was commisioned by the Foundation for Art & Creative Technology (FACT) and was published with the support from Liverpool Art School.
