Time is Away work across radio, research and site-specific sound-works. Over the better half of a decade the London-based duo of Jack Rollo and Elaine Tierney, have made tender and heartfelt transmissions through countless mixes, sound works, live appearances and radio. Over eight years as residents on NTS Radio, they have combined spoken word, field recordings and music as part of an ongoing reflection on the relationship between time, place and power. Recent commissions include the Arts Council England-funded solo exhibition ‘Fable of the Bees’ (Black Tower Projects, UK, 2020), ‘Prospect Cottage 1989–90’ (La Becque, Switzerland, 2020), ‘Countercultural Bohemia as Prefiguration’ (Repeater Books / ICA, UK, 2021) and Raid on the Medway (TACO! / Estuary Festival, UK, 2021)
