'Cave of Sounds' interactive sound installation

Although music plays a greater role in our lives than ever before, creating music is an activity often limited to trained professionals. Made up of a set of newly conceived musical instruments, The Cave of Sounds seeks to disrupt the boundaries between performer and audience. Regardless of training, visitors are invited to actively participate and experiment with new ways of creating and connecting with each other through sound.

The Cave of Sounds is a circular arrangement of eight bespoke digital musical instruments. Audience members are invited to experiment with the instruments together, explore the potential of creating music as a means to interact with new people and consider the intertwined history of music and technology.

The Music Hackspace’s very own resident project Cave of Sounds will be part of the Digital Design Weekend at the V&A, an event that celebrates collaborations in digital art, design and science, including interactive installations, bacteria textiles, hacking projects, biotechnology, inventive electronics, family activities and more.

When: Saturday 21st 10.30-16.30
Where: Victoria and Albert Museum, Hochhauser Auditorium, Sackler Centre. Cromwell Rd, London SW7 2RL ‎
Entrance: Free

Cave of Sounds is an interactive sound installation created by artist in residence Tim Murray-Browne with members of the Music Hackspace. It’s the outcome of the Ensemble project, exploring what it means to hack new musical interfaces together.
