swing:   'a fascinating counterpoint of sound and light' The Independent.
'a celebration of the fleeting, the passing sonic moment' Live Art Magazine
'a kind of post industrial carillon' Robert Ayers.

 

Swing is a sound performance installation that consists of an array of bare loudspeaker cones suspended and swinging above the audience, each individually emitting a discrete sound. The speakers are connected via a series of ropes and pulleys to a gantry where a team of 'bell-ringers' pull the ropes, making the speakers swing over the the audience who are able to move around underneath the swinging sounds.

This extraordinary sonic spectacle has been presented at various venues including at the 1999 Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival.
