This piece was part of the Listening Shell Exhibition curated by Dody Nash at the Victoria And Albert Museum in London.
“The Listening Shell is a musical instrument which you sit inside: sound composition becomes the voice of the shell. People tend to spend a long time in them – it’s an intimate environment which prepares you to listen in a specific way.
The sound is played at a low level – some sounds are familiar and some might not be…sound which teases the ear…..It’s a work to make you curious, engineered to make you listen carefully, as if the Shell is talking or even listening to you….”
