Joseph Clark is a sound designer, composer, and filmmaker working across experimental sound and narrative media.
Graduating with distinction from the MA Sonic Arts programme at Goldsmiths, University of London in 2025, Joseph's practice focuses on creating contemporary sound worlds for film, radio, and installation or performance contexts.
His work combines composed structure with sonic exploration, drawing on field recordings, unusual synthesisers, and obsolete media formats such as tape and film. Through techniques including cassette looping and improvisational processing, he explores indeterminacy, texture, and chance as creative tools within sound design and composition.
Joseph has collaborated closely with artists and filmmakers to realise their creative goals, composing soundtracks for exhibitions and creating original sound design and scores for animated and CGI-led short films. Recent work includes an original soundtrack for Search Party (2023), curated by Ben Edmunds in Ghent, Belgium.
Alongside commissioned and collaborative media work, Joseph maintains an active music practice, working with other musicians across a range of projects and ensembles. This ongoing collaborative approach informs his sound design work, supporting a flexible and responsive creative process across disciplines.
Sound Design
Designing narrative-driven sound that moves fluidly between realism and abstraction, shaping atmosphere, tension, and emotional focus.
Composition
Composing original scores that respond closely to image and story, combining structured musical ideas with exploratory and textural approaches.
Building sound from real-world materials through field recording and Foley, grounding images in place while allowing space for texture and imperfection.
