listeners.
To create the system we’ve worked closely with global Soundscape specialists
Southby Productions, who are will be constructing one of the largest Soundscape
installations ever built, with more than 80 speakers and a pair of powerful computer
processors used to create the acoustic shell. The system will be operated by sound
engineer Tim Hand, and as well as reinforcing the orchestral sound will be used to
play electronic music by the composer Sam Swallow which has been created
especially for the event to frame the movements of the symphony. None of us quite
know how the experiment will work, but we can’t wait to hear the results on
Thursday!
John Harte is the Chief Executive of Aurora
