aUDIOMAPS is the sound project of artist Stephen Carley, blending field recordings, lo-fi audio techniques and found sound into collaged, experimental soundscapes. Using glitches, loops, and re-configured samples, Carley creates live works that are as much about process as they are about performance.
Texts and voices emerge as fragments – cut-ups, overheard conversations, found declarations – layered with sequences, whispers, and post-industrial funk. The result is part manifesto, part immersive sound experiment.
Carley’s wider practice spans large-scale paintings, collages, cameraless photography and short films, often made with ‘poor’ or discarded materials such as dust, cardboard, chalk, and ashes. Across all mediums, his work resists convention, oscillating between the confrontational and the beautiful, always leaving space for the audience to think, feel, and interpret.
This is his punk rock.
