Unprecious Instrument (listening, composing, performing) By The Ruskin School of Art
Rob will perform a short improvisation using instruments created during a workshop with Ruskin BFA and MFA students, before describing a selection of related sound art projects. Framed through listening, composing, performing, the presentation outlines a creative process in which playful experimentation becomes the work itself.

Rob Shuttleworth is an artist whose work engages with the potential of accessible techniques and materials, highlighting the process of making as a language of expression. He performs and composes as Haddow, improvising with home-made instruments and found sounds, co-produces SAOM, a platform live sound art and music with no barrier to entry and works as an illustrator/designer for various music related projects.
