Towering above the audience a series of giant metal tripods support rotating arms.

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.

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.

‘Choir’ is an early version of the work that evolved into ‘Siren’.
Choir
A spatial composition for an ensemble of kinetic sound machines.
Circles of Ether
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.
Swing
Force field is a 30 minute performance for MIDI Theremin and sound machines. By interacting with the electro-magnetic ‘force field’ that surrounds the Theremin, Lee activates and controls a series of kinetic sound machines creating music and movement from the Ether.

Spin' develops and extends the research work begun in 'The Theremin Lesson'.
Spin
Hand built, early electronic circuitry powers spinning sirens, rotating loudspeakers, mechanical arms and machines.
The Theremin Lesson
The Detectors are kinetic sculptures that detect metal and electro-magnetic radiation and use this to generate a sound score
