SW1n-HUNTER is the solo sonic project of artist/musician Adam Denton. His recorded output, released on labels such as Opal Tapes, Hard Return and Fort Evil Fruit, is a dérive through the workings of the network, where frazzled samples, redirected electricity and disarmingly joyful noise emerge from the media machine’s interior to create something “beautiful and unnerving” all at once. Live, Denton combines aspects of frequency sculpture, instrumental mutation, environmental recording, machine/human utterance, feedback systems, movement and decayed samples in his performances. Most recently live shows have manifested as unwieldy, improvised audio essays, often interwoven with textual video works, performed in places such as Sound of the End of the World in Rio de Janeiro (2023) and light beams under a bridge in London (2023).

When not performing and recording as SW1n-HUNTER, recent collaborative projects have included The Old Police House (2013-2021) with Mariam Rezaei, the Abandonments sonic research project in Slemani, Kurdistan region of Iraq with Hardi Kurda and Space21 Festival (2022), the Property Unknown tour with en creau, Dhangsha and Pokk! (2023), and No Hevdem at Sonorities Festival (2024).
