press. As you can imagine back then all those presses would have generated a lot of noise. The
space has actually been acoustically treated to reduce the immense noise emanating from it.
Classical music requires reverberant surfaces for the sound to bounce off from. By using
Soundscape, we can create a virtual acoustic shell, effectively modelling an artificial ceiling and
walls from which the sounds of the orchestra can be reflected from. The result is a rich amplified
sound that orchestras, conductors and audiences fall in love with.’

A memorised symphony, a former printing press, a mobile audience and an invisible acoustic shell –
this event has all the hallmarks of an exciting and memorable musical spectacle that is sure to cause
a stir.
