The Engine Room presents: Tullis Rennie, Juliet Wallace and whthppnsfpshthtbttn? for an evening of sonic experimentation that pushes at the boundaries of sound art and music.
Tullis Rennie is a composer, improvising trombonist, electronic musician, and field recordist who “foregrounds the act of listening as an active component in the creation of musical experience” – The Wire Magazine. His latest album Safe Operating Space (2024, Efpi Records) is a hybrid of club music and acoustic free improvisation, reflecting on themes such as global heating, AI-generated deepfakes, family life, and Kate Bush. His work encompasses sound installation, community-engaged participative projects, multi-channel concert works, video, mixed media and live/improvised performances – presented across 20 countries, alongside broadcasts on BBC Radio 3, NTS and ResonanceFM. He is co-founder of community arts action group Walls On Walls, and of Barcelona-based audio-visual collective Insectotròpics. Tullis’s precious studio release was Fixed Freedoms (2022) on Matthew Herbert’s Accidental Jnr label, described as “a mutated set of electronic experiments that bends recognisable formulae (trance, dub techno, electro) into abstract landscapes” — Boomkat. His work is also released by Moving Furniture Records, Flaming Pines, Luminous, a new wave of jazz and ZeroWave.
