Coming soon – the warm embrace of the Delia Darlings
In April I will join the Delia Darlings for a short tour to perform a specially commisioned new piece of music inspired by electronic music pioneer Delia Derbyshire.
For this I have been trawling her archives and talking with esteemed Delianist David Butler (among others). The first proposal is looking like a mechanical instrument inspired by Delia’s use of tape and colage. It will feature found objects as sound sources and attempt to create an atmospheric, theatrical and humorous work. I’ve really enjoyed the research and learning more about her worlds of TV and Theatre. Anyone who grew up with the BBC in the 60′s and 70′s has Delia in their psyche and it’s a pleasure to be guided back there with experts.

Body Stories 19/10 – 9/11/2013
An installation at Huddersfield Art Gallery by Gerry Turvey with artists Roger Bygott and June Gersten Roberts and music by Daniel Weaver.
Installation open from Oct 19 to Nov 9th 2013 with performances on Fri Nov 8th @ 6pm. Sat Nov 9th @ 2pm FREE
The final part of Bodystories was a residency at Huddersfield Art Gallery from. A collaboration with visual artist Roger Bygott, film maker June Gersten, with choreographic direction from Vanessa Grasse, juxtaposing dance, visual art, and film. Daniel composed an evolving sound score with ever changing relation to the imagery. For the performances a version of the installation sound was programed to follow the timline of the action whilst still adding new juxtapositions at each showing.
“The film projections and soundscape brought another depth to the performance. I think the sounds felt carefully placed with imagery and movement together. Not too overbearing, nicely subtle and yet helped build atmosphere.” audience feedback
