Thomas Lea Clarke is a sound artist and electronic musician living in Berlin.
His work spans installation, live performance, and composition, using sound as a material to shape experiences, articulate spaces, and tell stories. Through recent works that engage with spatial audio composition, Clarke has been examining the ways in which sounds transform and interact with our physical environments.
Drawing on a background in broadcasting, Clarke’s installations explore connections between audio technology, memory and sonic perception—creating immersive environments that emphasise repetition, degradation, and spatiality.
Clarke has released music on multiple record labels including Optimo Music, Offen Music, and Knekelhuis. He also runs Phase Group, a record label and platform dedicated to experimental and forward-thinking electronic music.
His work has been presented at institutions including Casino Forum D’Art Contemporain, Hosek Contemporary, Silent Green, Berghain, Tramway Glasgow, Fuse Art Space, and Cafe Oto.
A multichannel loudspeaker installation that evokes the contemplation of language, its sonic properties, translation and the dynamics imposed by the omnipotence of technology companies. One phrase is translated consecutively, moving around in a field/chamber following the progression of the children’s game ‘Telephone’. The sounds of various languages enter conflicts, surrender, merge, and deconstruct through the act of translation.
