Today is a milestone. Kieran begins 3 months as the Creative New Zealand/NZSM/Toi Pōneke Sonic Artist-in-Residence 2024. You can guarantee that this funded watershed will result in a proliferation of work in sound, in music, and in painting and will foster a clutch of unexpected collaborations with makers in a myriad of disciplines.

The knock-on of Kieran’s relocation to Toi Pōneke, is I get to stretch into an empty house for 3 months. So I feel I have scored the inaugural Happy Valley/skirted Records Sonic Artist-in-Residence 2024. Who knows what this gift of time and space will generate?
