Angus Carlyle has an educational background within the humanities, studying law as an undergraduate, earning a masters in political theory, focusing his doctorate on the conditions of vocalised political exchange.

His subsequent theoretical trajectories engaged with cyberculture, photography and architecture then shifted towards its current pre-occupation with the sensory inhabitations of environments and their representations, with a particular emphasis on sound. A significant dimension of this exploration has been conducted through such creative practices as experimental textual production and field recording, with the texts and recordings contributing to collaborative and solitary projects.

For over a decade, he has worked with anthropologist Rupert Cox, co-creating films, installations and compositions – alongside academic texts - that seek to address the sonic experiences of living under civilian and military flight paths in situations where the echoes of history are palpable.
