About the Artist
Lisa Busby is a musician, artist and DJ. She performs and composes with bands Rutger Hauser and Sleeps in Oysters. She is particularly interested in using domestic or outdated playback media as instruments and developing extended technique for these new instruments, but also works in installation and site specifically. Past works have involved the building of large-scale environments or installations both indoors and out, within which she undertakes long duration, sounding performances, in some cases living and making music within the installation for weeks at a time. Her recent works have combined Fluxus-inspired score-writing with collage and DJ practices. In her day job she is Lecturer in Music at Goldsmiths, University of London, and runs two research projects: Editions of You, a celebration and showcase of self-publishing, self-releasing musicians and the handmade editions and releases they create, and Shit! I can DJ that explores experimental and crossover DJ practice.Further videos:
