Charlie Peacock makes experimental instruments, bringing together his background as a multi instrumentalist with a strong urge to tinker. With a DIY sensibility and with a focus on slow processes, his work draws freely from new and old technologies to transform scraps, broken pieces and found objects into physical artefacts that play music in unexpected ways.
