Hive
Hive is my latest sound project, taking place in Norfolk on the weekend of 12th / 13th November 2011. I am very pleased to be working with Sound And Music to present this installation, and rather than trying to think of another way of saying the same thing, here is the excellently written blurb from the Sound And Music website:
"Following his 24-hour Theremin marathon on The Manhattan Bridge this summer, Nick Franglen’s latest sound installation will see the experimental musician holed up for 24 hours in a remote WW2 concrete gunnery dome in the company of fifty radios, each tuned to a different station.
Franglen is inspired by the urban landscape and other found spaces, from London and Manhattan Bridges to a submarine, a mine and jet engine test bed. His work contextualises its environment, providing an often spontaneous, improvised reaction to time and place. Sound and Music is delighted to support this latest work at Langham Dome. On Armistice weekend he uses this WWII anti-aircraft training dome as a unique place for his installation and testing site for his concept: ‘Hive’."
I couldn't have put it any better myself. Hive is an open event in an unusual location, so the curious are more than welcome to attend to experience this piece for themselves. Click here for location and times. And click here for an explanation of what I plan to do, and why.
