Announcing The Suffolk Symphony
Faster than Sound comes to the Snape Proms for more experiments in sound and image…
Inspired by the historic coastline of Aldeburgh and its surrounding area including Aldeburgh Music's Snape Proms, Touch will create a new audio-visual symphony from scratch, using only locally sourced sounds and images. Beginning on 16th August, 2009, they will go on a week-long treasure hunt to unearth old records, field recordings, home-made sounds and images to help create the new Suffolk Symphony, culminating in its first performance on the 22nd August, 2009.
Directed by Mike Harding with sound by Philip Jeck and BJNilsen and images by Jon Wozencroft, the whole week will be documented for an interactive website by Philip Marshall. The Suffolk Symphony will be subsequently released through Touch.
