Most photos by Mike Priddy.

Following last night’s noisy performance of Jonathan’s Piece for Large Metal Sheet and Video Projections, the metal sheet will now be left suspended in the Entrance Foyer of the UCE Department of Art until lunchtime on Monday 2nd July. Sub-sonic sounds will be played through it continuously. (You have to feel sorry for the security guards who are forced to listen to it for hours…)

A huge thanks to the New Generation Arts Festival for supporting this work and also to the staff at the UCE Department of Art who made it possible. A special thanks to Mike Priddy for the excellent video projections and help setting up last night’s performance.

Expect more photos, video and sound soon. Join the interakt-list mailing list and we’ll let you know when they’re available.

The BBC will broadcast Ensemble Interakt’s Invented Instruments Concert on the Birmingham Big Screen during the live performance which will take place in the Entrance Foyer of the UCE Department of Art, Margaret Street (27th June, 6.30pm).

Experimental acoustic-electronic music and video installation and concert.
