Warrick Sony is a Cape Town-based musician, composer, and sound artist.

With a deep-seated interest in sound and politics, Sony’s approach to the sonic arts is rooted in a solid DIY-aesthetic. Silence, machinery, and the binaries of work and play have all informed his explorations throughout the workshop sessions of Season 6 of The Centre for the Less Good Idea. The links between work and punishment, and productivity and virtuosity have also been key interests to Sony throughout this period.

Season 6 sees Sony further exploring the impossibilities of silence through the concept of work and play, as well as collaborating with the various artists and performers at The Centre. Finally, an emphasis on improvisation and the haphazard process of crafting sonic forma and narrative out of the events of each day have formed the basis of Sony’s work across the workshopping sessions.
