Liminal Soundscape

Composition concept

Liminal, London featured a downloadable app (called Liminal) which is connected to a sonar buoy in the river Thames ; the real time movement of river life and currents, sourced directly in front of the sculpture are expressed as a personal light and sound experience through the app.

The soundscape composition is a tapestry of field recordings and live data-triggered musical stems inspired by the unseen movements and life within the river.

More information and a short film about the installation can be seen on the project page here.
