PLAY! Festival 2023

We invite our festivalgoers to join us for a festival-long sonic installation which explores our connection with darkness and the echoes within. For the first time, we offer an immersive sound installation featuring sounds produced by our School music creators that explores our concept of space-time (or lack of), the distant and out-of-sight, spatial disparity, transient whispers, and immersive echoes. This installation will be situated in Wettons Terrace East Studio 0-04. 

Please note that this experience will be presented in darkness.
