In the 1990s I was part of an industrial art performance group called Senselesss. We staged large scale immersive happenings, where we played instruments we had made ourselves. These instruments were often very sculptural; large constructions of steel mostly. The group was made up of a core of three to four people, with lots of other people coming and going. Often it was just for one performance, as we tried overcome the boundary between audience and spectacle. We included everyone.

In July 2023 I traveled to Australia, visiting Sydney for the first time in 24 years. This is where Senselesss emerged, developed and disbanded. I visited one of the other key members, Paul. He had an archive which he entrusted to me. Now I am digitizing the archive and this is the first piece I have transferred to computer and produced. We did all our work on analogue equipment. We recorded to tape.
