Digital Artist

January 10, 2015January 29, 2018 by dougieevans Leave a comment

Dougie Evans is a Digital Artist working across multiple art forms, with a specialism in capturing everyday life and human experiences. Previous work includes installations, photography, films, audio walks, music, and soundtracks.

My sound work has become recognisable by its unique mix of field recordings with real instruments and sound design. Whether a soundtrack for a show or a sound installation, my work always aims to transport the audience so that they feel like they are in a fictional world, even if that world is abstract or electronic. The use of familiar sounds in sometimes unfamiliar ways has become my trademark.

My visual work has a strong focus on portraits and documentary photography, capturing the beauty and interest of real people and real life. My equipment is portable, un-intrusive, weather proof, and produces extremely high quality images and videos. I can set up very quickly, and easily adapt to changing environments and locations.

Exclusive new track- Bagyo

January 4, 2014 by dougieevans Leave a comment

Following the catastrophic typhoon Haiyan, which hit the Philippines in november 2013, I have released an exclusive new track on an album titled Sisters and Brothers.

Sisters and Brothers is a charity album featuring some fantastic musicians from all over the world, and all the proceeds from the album will go directly to he British Red Cross’s Typhoon Haiyan Appeal. The album was put together by Tokyo based DJ and composer George Art Baker, and features a track from his alias Smoke Thief.

Bagyo means storm in Filipino, and the exclusive new track features an improvisation played by me on a Charango.

The Incredible Trailer

October 17, 2012October 17, 2012 by dougieevans Leave a comment

This trailer gives you a preview of my soundtrack for Lîla Dance’s new piece The Incredible Presence of a Remarkable Absence. The piece is just over 50mins and contains a real hot pot of music of sound and design, with cello and guitar music melting into field recordings of birds, crickets, and campfires. The piece is an incredibly moving work of physical theatre and it is a real honour to have been part of it.

Day 3- The Spider, this little guy moved onto the blueberry just as i walked over for a macro close up.

Day 4, Classic Mirror shot, this is an essential shot, and I expect to do a few more of these mirror self portraits over the year.

Day 5- In the Studio, spent the day recording ‘Kyo’.

Day 6- Window Ambience, this is an audio recording out of my bedroom window.
