For the first in The Process Archive sub-series we revisit three works from Assembly, Somerset House Studios experimental sound and music series, with artists Elaine Mitchener, Beatrice Dillon, Jennifer Walshe and Memo Akten. Originating in 2018, Assembly emerged from the roots of sonic art and sound-based practice within the Studios resident artist community.
