OTTO COX
Lighting Design
I'm inspired most by synaesthetic relationships between sound and light, and strive to characterise this in my work. I thrive when using exploratory engineering practices and lateral thinking to solve site-specific challenges.
I've worked at Glastonbury Festival's Azaadi stage, Waking Life's Mimo Stage, and designed main stage installations for En Masse festival and Outer Town in Bristol. I recently designed and installed the in-house lighting for radial london.
Audio
I'm fascinated by biomimetic sound design and polytemporality in electronic music. My artistic practice is informed by an educational background in music psychology and jazz performance study. I'm focused primarily on incorporating odd-meter techniques and extended harmony into leftfield bass music.
