about

assemblage is interested in the passing of time and reflects on small moments of connection between people and interior and exterior landscapes.

Conversations occur between site-specific performance, improvisation, recording and montage.

'poem for seasons and cycles' began with a poem after researching the life and artworks of Cy Twombly. These words were transferred to text to speech and played back as different domestic objects, radio samples and voice memos were layered.

‘a thousand plateaus' was recorded in my house on 28 October 2022 using a tabletop electric guitar manipulated with various household objects, tapes, radio and laptop.

‘nothing is ever behind us’ is a fluid composite of scraps and off-cuts, domestic diary fragments, snippets of voice memos and other home recordings across the past decade.

'moredr preder' (melancholy anxiety in Cornish) is an edited suite of personal field recordings, found sounds, samples and improvised audio manipulations.

'the things we've seen' mixes collected orchestra drones with archive VHS recordings.

'field songs' is a symbolic search for Walden's woods.

Collated, edited and mixed during autumn/winter 2022 in Cornwall, England.

Dedicated to J.

released September 8, 2023

Under the name Heavy Cloud, Cornwall-based Ryan Hooper creates music inspired by memory and landscapes, often in tandem with collage-based artworks and textual explorations.

‘assemblage’ is the first release under their own name and features six longform collage suites formed from personal field recordings, voice memos, improvised performance, domestic object percussion, found sounds and radio. Conversations occur between site-specific performance, improvisation, recording and montage.
