Sound & independent production
Electronic music, labels, vinyl culture and self-produced creative work establish the first long-running archive.
BIOGRAPHY · TIMELINE · CONTACT
A career across performance, production, writing, electronic music and research — presented here as one connected body of work rather than a sequence of separate identities.
Chas Burns is a writer, researcher, filmmaker, performer and music producer whose work spans theatre, screen, books, electronic music and research into automated systems and artificial intelligence.
The archive reflects a long-running interest in how stories move between forms: a screenplay can become a film and then a novel; a production can generate photography, music and performance; scientific or philosophical questions can become white papers, fiction and systems experiments.
Current research examines automated systems, machine authorship, creative cognition, identity, digital culture and the preservation of human judgement inside increasingly synthetic environments.
Electronic music, labels, vinyl culture and self-produced creative work establish the first long-running archive.
Acting, directing and independent productions develop alongside screen work and adaptation.
Fiction, screenplays and practical handbooks create another route through recurring concerns: character, systems, identity and story.
White papers and longer-term doctoral ambitions bring the analytical work into a formal public research record.
