Science Gallery London has commissioned artist, musician and composer Matthew Herbert as part of FED UP: The Future of Food.
Herbert’s response to the commission is Edible Sound, a work that amplifies common ingredients in everyday foods.  Through a series of experiments, Herbert has created audio recordings of a number of ingredients used widely in processed food, etching these recordings via laser cutting technology onto various consumable items. The outcome is the creation of an edible record capable of being played on a record player. 
During the performance on 16 March, Herbert will play an assortment of edible records.  The audience will be invited to reflect on the foods that informed their creation, the soundscapes they are producing and finally to consume the records. 
The performance is followed by a Q&A session. 
This is a free event. Booking is essential as places are limited.
Please note: There will be no entry after 7.20 P.M.
Due to venue restrictions drinks will not be served at this performance.
