MOMENTS IN SOUND EXHIBITION

Griffin’s practice centres on live experimental composition, combining augmented harp, voice, and modular synthesis to create immersive and evolving performances. For this exhibition, she is developing a new performative installation that consolidates her live-driven approach into a recorded work marking her first official music release & extending her practice beyond the immediacy of performance.

Vanhoof presents the award winning Antenna, a striking installation that transforms a grand piano into a receiver of electromagnetic waves. Using a custom-built antenna & electromagnets, the instrument is activated by signals present in the surrounding environment. Influenced by Alvin Lucier’s Sferics, the work reveals a constantly shifting sonic landscape shaped by natural and human-made transmissions, making audible the otherwise invisible infrastructures of the information age. Griffin & Vanhoof will also take part in a public in-conversation event discussing their practices and expanded approaches to sound installation.

Nell Catchpole brings Gongs of Teesside, which began with forging steel gongs by local blacksmiths and  has evolved through solitary and collective soundings with places and communities across Teesside and East Cleveland. The gongs serve as resonant objects and gathering points, opening encounters with place, memory, and ecology while amplifying local voices and stories.
