About Ray Lee
Ray Lee is an award-winning sound artist and composer. He creates spinning, whirling, and pendulous sound installations and performances that explore “circles of ether,” the invisible forces that surround us. His immersive and mesmerising works such as the world-wide hit Siren, Ethometric Museum and his monumental outdoor work Chorus aim to make contemporary music accessible and engaging for a wide audience. Siren toured the world with significant British Council support. Ethometric Museum won him the 2012 British Composer of the Year for Sonic Art. Force Field was awarded an honorary mention in the 2008 Prix Ars Electronica. He is a Professor of Sound Art at Oxford Brookes University and an associate artist of OCM (Oxford Contemporary Music).
What's new?:
Next stop Mdina, Malta for Congregation at the Three Palaces Festival on 10/11/19! What an amazing ancient city it is, and really looking forward to seeing and hearing the spheres as they meander through the narrow streets seeking their destination....
Projects
Congregation is a participatory outdoor sound art performance piece. The interactive Sonic Spheres will guide the participants to a secret location by using sound alone with groups of spheres starting from a series of different locations in a city, but all being directed to a central undisclosed location.
Congregation
Appearing to be artefacts from a hitherto unknown branch of science, Ethometric Instruments are curious, fascinating relics from a bygone age.
Ethometric Museum
A series of giant towers hold suspended bell-like speaker cones. A team of 'bell-ringers' make the cones swing higher and higher until each arm soars up over the heads of the audience ringing forth with a peel of electronic tones.
Ring Out
Siren is a spectacular performance piece that takes place within an installation of large sound sculptures; metal tripods with rotating arms that emit electronic drones.
