Future of Sound is a not-for-profit organisation that provides a forum for the discussion of new and convergent art forms. By creating immersive experiences using state of the art sound technology Future of Sound showcases leading practitioners in the fields of music and audio design, collaborating with artists and scientists. Future of Sound was originally conceived by Illustrious Company, established by Martyn Ware (founder member of both and ) and Vince Clarke (member of Erasure, Yazoo and Depeche Mode) two of the leading figures in . Clarke and Ware feel that experimental sound can be more widely used for interdisciplinary artistic activity, inspiring new ideas and ways of working. Future of Sound's aim is to introduce artists working with interdisciplinary art forms to each other, and to create a wider audience for and awareness of new convergent art forms. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Future of Sound on tour Whilst there were one-off events in 2004 and 2005, Future of Sound began in earnest in December 2006 with the start of a nationwide tour, continuing throughout the following year, and now into 2009. New Events continue to be organised. Theatre-sized multi-sensory environments, 3D sound, interactive light installations and animated sea beasts are bought together via the cutting edge of audiovisual experiments in the Future of Sound / Future of Light Tour 2009 which launched at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea, Sussex on 22 November 2008. Participants include LSD evangelist Brian Barritt, ‘telephone terrorist’ Robin Rimbaud aka Scanner who recently composed a new national anthem for Europe, Brian Duffy whose work with Modified Toy Orchestra creates new electronic instruments from abandoned children's toys and Paul Devereux, who discovered that Neolithic burial grounds resonate at the same frequency a trance-inducing 111Hz chant. |
