Gloucester Fabulous Sound Machines - July 17th to September 4th
23rd July 2010
Imagine ... a world of colour and sound that you can control.
Throughout the summer, Gloucester City Museum becomes home to a unique exhibition that invites visitors to touch, explore and create their own orchestra of sounds.
Internationally respected artists and musicians from Sweden, Germany, France and the UK have created sculptures that also act as intriguing musical instruments. Fabulous Sound Machines includes strings that you pluck to create colour and music, a "Bottle Organ", a harpsichord containing an Aladdin's cave of objects rather than strings, a giant wind instrument with bellows and pipes, and much, much more.
All of the individual sound sculptures are framed in a world of colour created by artist Peter Jones and composers Lawrence Casserley and Simon Desorgher. Other contributors include Johannes Bergmark, Hugh Davies, Dan Knight and Hans-Karsten Raecke.
