London Contemporary Orchestra
Work:: London Contemporary Orchestra (S0537321196)
Production:: (T1505260807)
The London Contemporary Orchestra will perform an incredible programme of work including pieces by Howard Skempton, Delia Derbyshire, Edmund Finnis, and Kaija Saariaho. In collaboration with ground-breaking visual artist Quayola & Sinigaglia, audiences will also experience a new commission by multi-award-winning composer, sound designer, artist and audio specialist Nick Ryan that centers around the theme of synaesthesia. This performance will give audiences the opportunity to experience the sound of the orchestra being transformed live into a dramatic visual score through computational software developed for the piece. Synaesthesia is a medical condition often described as a "union of the senses", whereby two or more of the five senses that are normally experienced separately are involuntarily and automatically joined together - some synaesthetes experience colour when they hear sounds.
