Album UK 2012 on FBox Records label
Electronic (Experimental)

Thirty is a collaborative and experimental sound work, between artist Stuart Bowditch (Hybernation) and the Recluse Experimental event. Stuart's work is based mainly around found objects, field recordings and places. He has created several site specific installations, including AWSoM, which played back field recordings using weather data on a nature reserve, and Vibe Cube, a public art commission to explore the 'spirit of place' in three Essex towns. He has also worked with children, sampling objects found in school to make songs. Recluse is a monthly event dedicated to divergent live performers who traverse the musical tightropes between the analogue and the digital, the past and the present. Specialising in showcasing performers too idiosyncratic to fit into any one genre, Recluse events offer performers and the audience with an open-minded event characterised by stylistic variation and live vitality. The three organisers of Recluse, Katie English, James English, and Alex Monk, each chose 10 random objects, some musical, some non-musical, and took them to the Recluse event on 5th November 2009. Stuart then had 30 days to create a 30 minute sound piece using only these objects, which he performed at the next scheduled event on 5th December. Both events took place at the Flea Pit on Columbia Road, East London. Thirty donated objects: Tesco's carrier bag, small paper bag, shaker, wooden flute/recorder, piece of meccano, rubber band, pencil, walkman, cassette of the Pixies and case, scissors, lightbulb, small tray, spoon, woodblock, toy car, broken handle, clock mechanism, spool, piece of wood, cardboard roll, tuning fork, candle, hand drum, bolt, ruler, Jews harp, shell, bell, plastic roller.
