Orchestra of Rocks: sculptural installation, experimental sound and perform...
Event Information
Description
Orchestra of Rock is a collaborative and improvisational work combining sculptural installation, experimental sound and performance to create a sensory experience.
An 8 channel sound installation of free standing, simulated “rock-speakers” spread live mixes by on site sound artists and performers creating trancelike, rhythmic and ritualistic soundscapes hovering between abstraction and dance track.
The work takes the increase of rainfall in the UK due to climate change as a starting point to reflect on how our everyday reality is being transformed by the impact of climate change.
By moving beyond representation, the work brings a visceral interpretation of the effects of climate change to the general publi Uta Kogelsberger’s recordings of individual raindrops captured in the mouth of a disused slate mine, with experimental recording techniques are handed over to experimental sound artists invited by the lead collaborator Atau Tanaka.
Previous contributors to the work have included: Mariam Rezaei, Will Edmondes, Xname, Nathalia, Shelley Parker, The Noize Choir, Dane Law, and Tom Richards.
The work takes its cue from Kögelsberger’s previous video installation ‘Playing the Cave’.

Organiser Ugly Duck Spaces
Organiser of Orchestra of Rocks: sculptural installation, experimental sound and performance.
Ugly Duck revitalises underused space. We find empty and underused spaces and open them up for a range of creative uses. We run projects which animate and connect people to public spaces.
We believe that space – especially in overcrowded cities like London – should never be left empty. We take vacant and disused buildings and bring them back into creative use; reflecting communities and histories, investigating social issues through arts and enterprise.
