Posted by Paddy on September 30, 2009 – 10:10 amThe finished product:
Congratulations to everyone at David Young Community Academy, it’s a great piece of art and you should be very proud of yourselves.
ELFM and Heads Together have been commissioned by the Sonic Arts Festival (Expo Leeds) to create a work of sonic art for Leeds City Museum. The team of Adrian Sinclair, Ed Heaton and Kypros Kyprianou are working with students from the David Young Community Academy.
The final work will be on display at the Museum during the Festival 24-29th September 2009
Dog walks on laminate flooring

It walks indeed… or at least the sound of it does – in Leeds City Museum.
Our sonic arts work is now installed in the Museum on Millennium Square for EXPO Leeds. It’s been great. Working in partnership with the David Young Community Academy, on our first visit down to the Museum to discuss the project, the students involved stipulated that they wanted something interactive… very interactive.
Well – it certainly is that! We have taken over the back-to-back exhibition and put a piano right in the centre of the space. Press any of the piano keys and you’ll hear a sound or series of sounds from one of the 5 speakers hidden in the space. A domestic sound. Someone knocking on the window; a couple having a row next door; a microwave ping or …. a dog walking on laminate flooring. Yes 72 different sounds on each of the keys
Try two keys together…
How about a chord…
Before you know it – you are playing your very own ‘domestic symphony’
It was a simple idea but loads of work (and a lot of fun recording at home!). Today is launch day – but get yourselves down to the Museum sometime over this EXPO weekend and enjoy. We certainly have!
Photos please
Posted by Adrian on September 17, 2009 – 2:46 pmOne of the things we want to do for the sonic arts exhibition is have a loop of photos of stuff – domestic stuff. Lovely weird and wonderful stuff from round the home. Would you like your stuff to be part of the exhibition? Please please please take some photos at home and send them through to me at adrian@headstogether.org
Need them as soon as possible…
To give you an idea of the kind of thing we’re talking about have a look at some below – with soundtrack by Mr Renshaw from DYCA …
