JC Leisure
Welcome to the JC Leisure Home Page, the official Internet resource on the life and work of composer/intermedia artist JC Leisure. JC Leisure (b 1986) is a sound artist, based in Liverpool since 2014. He has released work on Warm Winters Ltd, Not Not Fun and his new record A Courtyard! is available through Cameron Stallones SUN ARK imprint. His practice focuses on how elements of performance; artist, audience and space can be broken down through ideas of play - the potential of a space to be folded back on itself. He recently toured the extra-musical performance Complex Adaptive Sitcom with longtime collaborator Joseph Summers, a midi-responsive performance built within the framework of a situation comedy. He runs the broadcast space and slow label House of Saturn. The Wire has described him as a "keen medium channeling impossible plots and creating improbable music." In 2021 his radio play, Fourth Sided Mixtape was commisioned and broadcast live on BBC Radio.
