Paul Cousins is a sound artist & composer based in London. Using a collection of 1/4” reel-to-reel machines, tape echoes and other analogue equipment, he creates music on the themes of obsolete technology and imperfection. His compositions have featured in installations at Barbican, 180 Studios and on BBC radio. In addition to releases with Decca and Castles in Space, in the studio he has worked on a diverse range of projects for acclaimed artists & record labels. His recent sound installation ‘Atomised Listening’ invited visitors to interact with obsolete music technology at Stone Nest in London’s West End.
