‘Thought-provoking, beautifully subtle and deeply moving, this series of five compositions delicately weaves together the history of the past with the sounds of the present. Simply stunning.’ Cheryl Tipp, Wildlife Sounds Curator, British Library.
Mark Peter Wright is an artist whose practice seeks to illuminate understandings of listening and place. Through delicate intersection of sound, image, objects and text his work often encounters themes relating to nature, industry and site-specific histories of migration and abandonment. Such pre occupations have inspired an acclaimed body of work that brings to debate both political and cultural aesthetics of subjectivity and place. He has exhibited, broadcast and published works across a variety of international venues, festivals, labels and media. In 2009 he received the British Composer of the Year Award [Sonic Arts] for his work A Quiet Reverie[2008]. In 2010 he was nominated for a Prix Ars Electronica award in Digital Musics & Sound Art. He is also the founder of Ear Room, an online resource co-published by Sound & Music. Wright [b. 1979, UK] lives and works in London and is represented byIMT Gallery.
This interview is based on ideas inspired by RE:Walden, a collaboration between theatre director Jean-François Peyret, Thierry Coduys and a few others…
Le Hub would like to thank Mark warmly for the sympathy, the time and the energy he put into the construction of this interview.

Mysterious watering plastic tubes grow at the foot of London trees and seem to be part of a secret underground network that connects the plants together.
In his radio piece ‘the hidden language of trees’, Gregory Whitehead imagines a conversation between a journalist and a scientist who would have found how trees communicate with each other. Listen to an extract of this beautiful piece:
Thiery Coduys will perform ‘Flux’ during the ‘Désert Numérique 2011‘ festiva on Sunday the 3rd of July. Apparently, it sounds a bit like water in the desert. And also like Oasis.
Following the departure of Madeleine Aktypi last year, le hub has evolved into a new mind blooming collaboration taking off this spring. Madeleine developed le hub into an exciting reflection platform, hovering above contemporary arts and technology, hoovering up and exhaling exhilarating ideas. After three productive years of work with Thierry Coduys, and after she entirely created le hub’s website, she is en route to something new:
Flight from to platform status

Antoine Bertin has arrived at le hub. Antoine is a London-based artist and engineer specializing in sound. Through research and practice, he will put the work made at le hub in relation to the London art scene, sounding out the differences between listening to Johnny Hallyday and eating marmite on holiday.
