Sounds captured in the natural world and sounds produced by experiments will be manipulated into a musical soundscape by electronic music composer, Dan Morrison of IOU.   Experiments will use a variety of phenomena, including static electricity, liquid nitrogen and water vapour. Over a three day residency at the theatre, you will be able to see how the music is made and explore the whole process with a close-up view of IOU artists and technicians creating the sounds. With state of the art computer sound-manipulating software and using an extraordinary mixture of apparatus, from victorian laboratory equipment to the microscopic sound analysis of a fizzy drink, Dan will create a soundscape which can be heard developing over the three days.

 

Using computers available in the auditorium, you can also experiment yourself with online software to work with the same sounds created by IOU, enabling you to make your own soundscape.

 

Public parking is available next to the venue.
