Absolutely delighted to be returning to Project DIVFUSE for a two-day residency, recording voices and making tape loops! Please come down during the day on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th May and lend your voices, we need as many as possible! Daytime entry is free, limited tickets for the evening concerts are now available – further details here.

The installation will consist of an ‘eternal choir’ created by a series of vocal recordings made on a single tape loop stretched across the project space and running continuously throughout the day (or at least until it finally disintegrates and a new one takes over). Visitors and participants will be invited to listen in then contribute their own voices, the only instruction being that they harmonise with whatever was on the loop before them. Removing the tape machine’s erase head from the equation means that theoretically it should be possible to build up multiple layers of interlocking voices that blend, morph and disintegrate together before your very ears. Although given that this is vintage technology, nothing is ever certain. What we can guarantee is that we’ll create sounds that nobody else has ever made before and we’ll create them together. Both days will culminate in an evening performance featuring all the tape loops that have survived. Full details and event programme here.
