Career

Music

St. John's debut album, Weald, was released in November 2011, and received a positive reception from critics.[1][2][3][4] This Is Fake DIY described it as "special, surprising and utterly magnificent".[3] Andrew Collins of BBC 6 Music named it his album of the year.[5] St. John wrote the original music for the Jeremy Deller and Nick Abrahams film The Bruce Lacey Experience,[6] and in 2012 produced the Folklore Tapes "Pendle, 1612" compilation album with David Chatton Barker, commemorating the anniversary of the Pendle Witch Trials.[7] St. John has contributed to Modern Studies, Eagleowl, Meursault, Woodpigeon and Withered Hand.

Environmental Art

St. John has produced a number of varied artworks, with landscape, sound and the environment as common themes. Water of Life (2013), with Tommy Perman, explored water in the city of Edinburgh through visual art, writing and sound;[8] the solo project Surface Tension (2015) used sound art and photography to document pollution in the River Lea in London and was shown at Stour Space, London and The Lighthouse, Glasgow;[9] and a sound installation Concrete Antenna (2015), with Tommy Perman and Simon Kirby, exhibited at the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop through 2015-16.[10] Emergent Landscapes (2016) was a participatory installation at Switch House, Tate Modern, involving collaborative cairn sculpture, soundscape creation and film work using manipulated Super 8.[11]
