Daniel Blinkhorn (Australia)

Program Note:
In the Arctic region of Raudfjorden, on a pebble strewn beach stands a small, crude wooden
cabin. It’s said that on the same site stood an earlier cabin once inhabited by a lone trapper
seeking refuge in the fjord after a terrible mining accident left him disfigured. As I stood in
the hut, peering out through one of the many cracks that made-up a wall, I wondered what it
must have been like, both for the trapper and others like him who chose to live in such
climatically extreme isolation.

Bio:

He has worked in a variety of creative, academic, research and teaching contexts, and is

He is an ardent location field recordist, where he has embarked upon a growing number of recording expeditions throughout Africa, Alaska, Amazon, Australia, Cuba, West Indies, Mexico, Madagascar, Middle East, Northern Europe, and the high Arctic/ North Pole region of Svalbard.
His creative works have received a number of awards at important international composition competitions, and whilst entirely self-taught in environmental sound, electroacoustic music and sound art, Daniel has formally studied composition and the creative arts at a number of Australian universities.
