Audio/visual artist Richie Culver first realised he could make art at a rave afterparty when he picked up a book of Nan Golding’s photography. He rose to popular attention in recent years firstly in the art world after a work was featured in the Tate Modern and when the piece Did U Cum Yet, a comment about social media, went viral during the pandemic. His debut album, I Was Born By The Sea, mixes spoken word with experimental electronics and has echoes of his birth city of Hull’s Throbbing Gristle. Richie shares a frank and honest chat with Paul about addiction (Richie himself is 8 years sober) about discovering clubbing, about social media, about being present and his creative process. 

I Was Born By The Sea (The Remixes) is out on June 23rd on Participant Records.
