A self-taught independent multimedia artist, Ian Helliwell works in
music, film, animation, analogue electronics, instrument building,
collage, installations, live performance, light show projection,
graphic design, writing and film programming.
In 2011 he completed his first feature-length documentary film
Practical Electronica, looking at tape pioneer FC Judd. Expanding
on his research for Tape Leaders, he released Project Symbiosis, in
2020, a compilation CD based on an archive electronic music graphic
score.
"For anyone with an interest in the early years of electronic
music, Ian Helliwell's book takes the reader on an enthralling tour
of the pioneering British contributors to this genre" --Sound On
Sound
"Until now, the Radiophonic Workshop has somewhat eclipsed other
players in British early electronic music history. The extent of
this is laid bare in Tape Leaders - a landmark survey by Ian
Helliwell, who has uncovered hitherto unacknowledged independent
electronic music composers" --Fortean Times
