Simon Whetham

Simon Whetham is a British sound artist and composer known for his immersive, experimental work with field recordings and environmental sounds. Based in Bristol, he transforms mundane or overlooked sonic elements—creaking doors, weather patterns, urban hum—into intricate, atmospheric compositions that blur the line between documentation and abstraction. His releases, like *Successive Actions* and *Meditations on Light*, often feel like sonic travelogues, capturing fleeting moments of place and time through tactile textures and subtle processing. Whetham’s collaborative spirit shines in projects like *Alcôve 04* and *El Parque Está Situado En Su Propia Casa*, where site-specific recordings merge with conceptual frameworks. A restless innovator, he’s equally at home crafting studio albums, live performances, or installations, always inviting listeners to reimagine their acoustic surroundings.
