ivy nostrum [stasis and flux]
Ivy nostrum is Paul Margree, a sound artist and improvisor from London. He blends explorations of everyday objects with feedback systems to explore ideas of instability and stasis. His work produces uneasy states of listening verging from deep, haunting drones to the delicate and nuanced exploration of daily minutiae.
