juneau/projects/ are actually artists Phil Duckworth and Ben Sadler, who
have worked together on art and music projects since 2001. Based in
Birmingham, juneau/projects/ make records, perform live and exhibit their
work in art galleries. Ban This! is an ongoing project where Phil and Ben
work with children to write and record pop songs about their lives. They
have now collected over 50 songs and regularly perform cover versions of
them at their own concerts.
"We loved Egremont, and really liked the songs that the children recorded.
We also enjoyed finding out that the Crab festival wasn't about people
selling seafood and that the school was built on a mine."
In the past the duo have used mobile phones, computers, camcorders,
dictaphones and cd walkmans in their work, often delighting audiences by
destroying them to make unexpected sounds. They are also interested in
nature, and use characters and images of animals and birds to tell stories
about how we think and feel about nature in the 21st century.
