| PJ Norman's methods include music, Joyce-ian wordplay, acoustical feedback, audio and visual collage, photography, the utilisation of location recordings and sound-concrète. Through combinations of these forces he places everyday elements into spaces that are affected by avant-garde treaments. This blurring of lines between disciplines reveals a space between the familiar and the new. |

| He trained at City University London in sound-concrète composition under electro-acoustic composer Denis Smalley. Here his studies of North Indian Classical Music and West African music developed the improvisation skills on guitar which, combined with the influence of sound-concrète, began to form his distinctive 'feedback guitar' techniques. |

| In 2004 he became a founding member of the 100m Records collective through which he has released two full-length albums with the highly appraised electronic project tKatKa. In 2007 he published his first collection of poetry, Death of Romance and the Future of Now in a limited first-edition run of 50 copies. The book contains the long-form poem Biological Camera (A Day In The Life) which also features on the Iamprimate EP release We. |

| In 2009 he moved from London's East End to New York City. Since this move he works as a freelance artist in audio, video and photography. In 2010 he launched the production company Drive By Shoot with his partner, photographer Diana Scheunemann to fund her first film project Love American Skin. He continues to record and produce with tKatKa and is currently collaborating with electronic improvisation group Fates and Brooklyn post-punk outfit Glass Rifle, whilst working with Scheunemann on her next film. |
