On 28-29th May Faster Than Sound will present a unique series of live events taking place in an round the Faster Than Sound base in Suffolk, England. The event will consist of three main events:
Fixing Point -Blast Theory with musician and composer, Chris Clark, have developed an interactive application that traces your movement. Armed with headphones as you walk away from Snape, you will be taken on a journey into a new musical landscape.
Variable 4 – For 24 hours, Sound Artist, James Bulley and Software Engineer, Daniel Jones’s Variable 4 will use meteorological equipment and software to transform the weather conditions into an orchestral piece of music, projected through speakers integrated into the ground.
Soundtrap V – A new audio-visual artwork is created and synthesized in a collaboration between musician Bruce Gilbert and Beaconsfield ArtWorks. Using ‘organic’ field recordings and expressive art, the Big Shed in Iken will undergo a visual transformation as the sound of the coast illuminates the room.
Going with the fact that British weather can be as unpredictable as a Kanye West tweet, the weather changing installation should prove to be an interesting event in itself. For more information, visit the Faster Than Sound website.
