A feast for the ears Liquid Architecture sound festival
You've heard it all before. At music festivals, in underground clubs, from art galleries to karaoke backrooms. But sound culture isn't something you acknowledge that often. Step in Liquid Architecture, a festival of sound arts now in its 10th consecutive year.
Featuring imaginative musicians, composers, sound designers and media artists, this seven-city festival showcases concerts, live performances, immersive sound presentations, audio-visual and recorded work, exhibitions and installations.
Thomas Köner has extended his concept of time and sound colour to images, resulting in video installations, photography and net art. Through installations, Vicky Browne manipulates everyday sound devises like iPods, mobile phones and CD players to expose their meaning and relevance to the world.
You can catch, Chris Abrahams, perhaps best known for his work with the improvising trio The Necks, and The Evolution Control Committee, an experimental music band from Ohio which uses uncleared and illegal samples from various sources as a form of protest against copyright law.
Sounds good? Tune in for more.
