Tom Richards
Tom Richards is an artist, musician, sound designer, and instrument maker, working in West Yorkshire. He has been working between sonic art, sculpture, film and music since graduating with an MA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art in 2004. He has performed and exhibited widely in the UK, as well as internationally in the US, Brazil, Germany, Peru, Singapore, Hungary, Japan and Sweden.
Selected works and live performances have taken place at Tate Britain, Fabric, Barbican, The Queen Elizabeth Hall, The Science Museum, Spike Island, Cafe Oto, MK Gallery, Focal Point, and Camden Arts Centre.
In 2018 he completed his PhD (Goldsmiths/Science Museum) on the work of Daphne Oram: electronic music pioneer, and founder of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. This research included the creation of Oram’s unrealised Mini Oramics synthesizer design (Circa 1975), a project that has since gained worldwide attention.

Mark Hanslip
Mark Hanslip is a saxophonist and technologist based in north west England. His solo work extends his acoustic playing with effects hardware, hand-written software and bespoke machine learning models, a hybrid setup that allows him to build frameworks for experimentation with sound. This new work reflects a long-standing love of improvised, jazz and electronic music, and results in expansive, immersive sound worlds. In 2024 he completed a PhD in applications of machine learning to instrumental practice at the University of York. His current collaborators include harpist Manon McCoy, poet Lauren McLean, drummers Will Shaw and Mark Sanders, harmonium player Adam Fairhall and clarinettist Nick Branton, with whom he co-leads a transatlantic quartet with pianist Eli Wallace and guitarist Jessica Ackerley.
