The Persistence of Sound//audio-visual installation

Originally commissioned as part of the Sampling Sounds of The Future project, The Persistence of Sound is an audio-visual installation consisting of three short films. Each focusses on different aspects of Coventry: Transport & Industry, People & Communities and Buildings & Environment.

The pieces are designed to be played alongside each other to create a sense of interaction. Soundtracks are generated from samples and field recordings collected from around Coventry with a theme to explore and predict the future sounds of the City. The project utilised a variety of vintage and modern equipment and methods, including sampling, tape loops, found sounds, field recordings, processing and a range of electronic instruments and effects.

Natsu are Rhiannon Bigham (Visual Sequence) & Ian Campbell (S-AMM), collaborative sound design artists based at Eastern Telephone Works, Coventry.

Based out of Berlin, Germany, electro-acoustic music composer and performer Hainbach (Opal Tapes, Seil Records) creates shifting audio landscapes THE WIRE called “One hell of a trip”. Using esoteric synthesizers, test equipment, magnetic tape, and idiophones his music is both abstract yet very much a corporal experience. He has become known for his immersive live performances for and recently through his YouTube channel, where he brings experimental music techniques to a wider audience.

Chapel

A big thank you to everyone who came along to the Chapel of Many over the last week. We had hundreds, if not thousands, of visitors. And thanks to everyone who came to talk to us about the Chapel, and our Sound Installation.

Thanks of course to Sebastian Hicks for a great event, and for inviting us to take part. And to Rhiannon Bigham for her help during the preparations, and the event itself.

Chapel of Many

Synthcurious have been commissioned to provide the music for a sound installation for the Chapel of Many event in the Cathedral Ruins.

Using multitracking, looping and layering techniques the sonic representation will constantly evolve over the duration of the event, never repeating the same passage twice. This is to represent the uniqueness of every individual, and their involvement and participation in the groups they form each and every day. Some intentional, some accidental, but always evolving.

The event will run from Wednesday 19th to Sunday 23rd June, with the installation playing at various times throughout the week. There’s also a special launch evening on Tuesday 18th from 6pm.

Admission is free, and is open to everyone.

The Chapel of Many was conceived and designed by Sebastian Hicks from Coventry University.
