Coming together for the first time as a trio for the Sound Art Brighton Festival, these three improvisers have decades of sonic interactions in their shared histories of friendship and musical collaboration. Textured harmonic patterned planes grow from inside micro-sound resonances. The trio comprises: Jez Riley French (field recordings), Adam Bushell (vibraphone) & Alice Eldridge (cello).

Their debut performance will be on 1st March at The Rose Hill, providing support to Group Listening.

Jez riley French makes use of intuitive composition, field recording, improvisation and photography, and has been exploring his enjoyment of and interest in detail, simplicity and his emotional response to places and situations for over 3 decades. Alongside performances, exhibitions and installations, French lectures and runs workshops around the world and his range of specialist microphones are widely used by recordists, sound artists, musicians, sound designers and cultural organisations. He also works as a curator of live events, a record label, sound installations and an arts zine verdure engraved.


Adam Bushell is a versatile and eclectic percussionist, who started playing music in his parents’ village band aged 7. He regularly performs traditional folk music, contemporary classical music and experimental improvisation. He is also a music teacher with East Sussex Music and Brighton & Hove Music and Arts, and in 2016 directed young percussionists in a performance of Ionisation by Edgard Varese – a classic of percussion repertoire which is normally only played by professionals and conservatoire students.

Alice Eldridge is a cellist, researcher and educator based at the Sussex Humanities Lab, University of Sussex. Her background in psychology, evolutionary and adaptive systems, computer science and music inspires and informs systemic sound-based research across science, technology and music. Current projects include networked notation for ensemble music-making, ecoacoustics for biodiversity assessment and hybrid instrument building for improvisation. As a cellist she has shared stages, studios and other acoustic spaces with some of the UK’s most inventive musicians at the improvised intersections of contemporary classical, folk, free jazz, minimal pop and algorithmic musics.

Sound Art Brighton Festival is a city-wide programme of events presenting sound installations, sound sculptures, interactive sound events, performances, sound walks, audio and audiovisual works, both in galleries and outdoors, throughout the city of Brighton and Hove (UK).

Combining local sound art talents with international guests, the festival celebrates the diversity and range of this broad and hybrid art practice and pays homage to the multitude of sounds to be found in our city – with the Downs on one side and the sea on the other, as part of a UNESCO biosphere.
