Future of Sound
UK Nationwide tour
Presentations, performances
Future of Sound provides a forum for the discussion of new and convergent art
forms. By creating immersive experiences using state-of-the-art sound technology
Future of Sound showcases leading practitioners in the fields of music and
audio design.
2006-2007 saw the start of a nationwide tour by musicians and audio designers
collaborating with artists and scientists.
Participants include LSD evangelist
Brian Barritt, sonic artist Scanner, Brian Duffy whose work with Modified
Toy Orchestra creates new electronic instruments from abandoned children's
toys and Paul Devereux, who discovered that Neolithic burial grounds resonate
at the same frequency - a trance-inducing 111Hz chant.
Future of Sound was originally conceived by Illustrious Company, established
by Martyn Ware (founder member of both The Human League and Heaven 17) and
Vince Clarke (member of Erasure, Yazoo and Depeche Mode) two of the leading
figures in electronic music. Clarke and Ware feel that experimental sound can
be more widely used for interdisciplinary artistic activity, inspiring new
ideas and ways of working.
