Yiskah, the pseudonym of Cornish sound artist Jessica Beechey, creates minimalist and drone-based works that blend field recordings with interactive and generative techniques. Her recent projects investigate the acoustic properties of Cornish fogous - ancient underground structures - exploring their potential role as ritual spaces through both acoustic and acoustemological lenses. Now pursuing a PhD at Falmouth University, Yiskah's research focuses on Cornish heritage, identity, and landscape, aiming to amplify the sonic and political voices of marginalised communities and the natural environment.
Elliot Buchanan is a London-based artist working with sound to examine the complexities of the human experience. Utilising listening and sound-making as investigative methods, his practice explores how sonic materiality articulates social relations through spatiotemporal entanglements. Working mostly with sculptural sound installation, performance and radio he has shown work at The Swiss Church, Bomb Factory Foundation and completed a residency at Chisenhale Art Place. He curates a monthly radio show on RTM.FM entitled Intimacy which exists as a common ground for conceptual artists
