012 Maxwell Sterling Polyphony Mix

Summer residency artist Maxwell Sterling sent us this mix reflecting on his time at Wysing. The mix contains influences that soundtracked his residency and closes with Anthropocentric vocal études, a new work composed and premiered at Wysing. Maxwell spent the residency researching and theorising the voice and it's potential for composition. He spent time recording with youth choir Harringey Vox and exploring an archive of voices compiled by artist Max Hawkins for the Call in the Night app. The live premiere of Anthropocentric vocal études featured vocals from musician Teresa Winter and can be listened to in podcast 011.

Maxwell also recorded vocals with artists Florence Peake and Tai Shani and contributed an atmospheric two-hour soundtrack to their current exhibition at Wysing, Andromedan Sad Girl.
