A co-created choral response to the sounds of species found in the apple garden at Galleri F 15, Alby. Following Mackenzie’s Score for a Convivial Planetary Consciousness, the work asks how we can become more aware of the species that we share spaces with.
Attractor is a sculptural installation that offers an exercise in listening, bringing our attention to sounds and to species that we live alongside but rarely notice. In the apple garden at Gallery F15, copper bell-shaped sculptural forms, designed to stimulate the senses of different species, house microphones that stream live audio. A listening score invites audiences to reflect on our environmental relationship and forms the basis for a choral composition performed in Moss Church, in collaboration with Moss Ensemble Consensus.
