Stephen Chase composes, improvises, and walks quite a lot. His work veers erratically between conceptual strategies and following-his-nose, and is drawn to such things as the relationship between physical action and sound production, group interaction, and the acoustic characteristics of indoor and outdoor spaces.

He has collaborated variously with Ross Parfitt, Philip Thomas, Exaudi, Quatuor Bozzini, Brevis Choir, Apartment House, Ensemble Zwischentöne, Music We’d Like to Hear, Sound Intermedia, BBC Singers, Mick Beck, edges, THF Drenching, Gwilly Edmondez, Coastguard All Stars, Husk, Gated Community, Damo Suzuki, omoplate sarangi, murmuration, and Freaking Glamorous Teapot.

He has co-edited a book of essays with Philip Thomas on the music of Christian Wolff  for Ashgate.

He recently returned to playing other people's music for solo guitar, specialising in premiering music by composers whose first initial is J: so far, James Saunders, James Weeks, Jennie Gottschalk and Jürg Frey.Eleanor Cully is an artist from Norwich (UK), currently based in Huddersfield. Her recent work as a composer has explored the interface between surface and skin in works written for instrumentalists. Eleanor also performs her work, her latest flute work Siren Songs was written and performed with artist Charlotte Cullen at Charlotte’s exhibition Please, Be Gentle. Eleanor co-founded Bacon Jam Collective, an independent production collective for concerts in Huddersfield, and co-directs U N N A W A Y, an artist led organisation establishing a platform for reflexive artistic dialogue in Huddersfield.
