Freya Dooley, production still

Freya Dooley’s multi-disciplinary practice encompasses sound, moving-image, writing and performance. Often rooted in close-range observations and informed by diverse cinematic, literary and musical references, her work comprises semi-fictional narratives and layered soundtracks that expand outwards in scale, weaving together voice, electronics and instrumentation. Forming intimate connections between divergent subjects, the wider themes in Dooley’s practice relate to the harmonies and tensions between personal and collective experiences, with a particular interest in structures of work and domestic living.

Her upcoming solo exhibition at Site Gallery False Note comprises a suite of interconnected works that broadly explore themes of replacement, communication and connection. The narratives in the work relate to both the musical and idiomatic meanings of the term 'false note': miscommunications, untruths, insincerity, and inconsistencies. The soundtrack composition is informed by Dooley’s recent research in Rome in post-synchronised sound and sonic artifice in Italian cinema.

An exciting events programme will accompany the exhibition, including family-friendly and skills development workshops. There will also be a live performance to close the exhibition, supported by PRS Foundation’s Women Make Music.

This work will be audio described.
