I am a singer, walker and listener, British but currently based in New York. I've been working for about 40 years, making soundwalks, concerts, radio works and sound installations, and hold an MA Sonic Art and a Deep Listening teaching certificate.

In my longterm project "Shadow-walks" I walk with people in their hometown to explore their sense of place and the walk's link with personal history and memory.
I worked and studied with composer and Deep Listener Pauline Oliveros for many years and hold a teaching Certificate in Deep Listening.

I lead workshops in listening and sounding, recently in Hong Kong, London, Bangalore, New York, Kolkata and Manila. I like to travel in order to work and walk and so far have made and presented work in twenty five countries.

GPS, geo-poetic system

Geo-poetic system was a term coined by Lucy Frears during locative media art research (published 2017). The basis of geopoetics, a theory and practice developed by Scottish philosopher and poet Kenneth White, is to connect humans to the lines of the earth (White cited in McManus 2007: 183), or ‘what’s out there’ (Ingold 1993; 154; White 2005: 200; White 2006: 9). The contact White describes is often between the human mind and the earth, what he calls ‘landscape-mindscape’ (Legendre 2011: 121). Because of the embodied nature of locative media experiences using a smartphone in landscape for these walking art experiences using gps technologies Frears expanded this notion to being ‘landscape-mindscape-bodyscape’ (2017).
