Sat 19 June
Siobhan Davies Studios will open its entire building to view as part of the city wide celebration of architecture. Visitors will be free to explore all areas of the building and experience a number of events.
Installation: Audialsense
Time: 12-5pm
Workshop: Experiencing sound through movement
- Time: 12-1.30pm
- Tickets: free event
- Booking: 020-7091-9650
Audialsense present with Siobhan Davies Studios a work that takes site, space and occupancy as core modulating elements of a new sound work.
Dense tonal chords of sine waves, based on the wavelengths associated with the dimensions of the room, are played in the Roof Studio. The modulation of these tones is based on the stuttering rhythmic patterns of the cladding systems on the nearby Strata SE1 tower by architects BFLS. Recently completed, this visually striking building is visible from the Studios’ windows.
The work is a durational piece, played for several hours. This duration allows occupants to experience and interact with standing wave phenomena, fleeting rhythms and harmonies, directly related to the space and the locality.
Siobhan Davies Dance will lead a workshop using movement to heighten the experience of the sound and the invisible architecture it creates in the Roof Studio. Participants will be guided in their explorations of passing through the different volumes of sound, making choices in the pathways they carve through the space.
