FREYA DOOLEY

Solo exhibition, Site Gallery, Sheffield

False Note comprises a suite of interconnected works which broadly explore themes of replacement, communication and connection. The narratives in the work relate to both the musical and idiomatic meanings of this term ‘False Note‘: miscommunications, untruths, insincerity, and inconsistencies. The soundtrack composition is informed by research in Rome in post-synchronised sound and sonic artifice in European cinema.

A live performance will close the exhibition, supported by PRS Foundation’s Women Make Music. More to be announced.
