Sound Horn is an ongoing project, an immersive sculptural and sound installation, exploring the effect of a created soundscape on our experience of place. For each installation of the horns, the work seeks to re-imagine the space it inhabits, considering and acknowledging the existing sounds of our everyday spaces.

The installation signs, reverberating a tune of it’s own that fills the space and reaches out as it travels. A meditation on the audible place, the subtle changes in tone as audience and sound move around the space are invitations to explore, settle and absorb.

The work sounds from a series of six horns facing skyward. For Sonica Glasgow, the horns sing a cycle of three works created on residency at Cove Park earlier in the year. The original sine tones heard in the first cycle were developed in partnership with artist Justin K Prim.

Sound Horn for Sonica was commissioned by Cryptic Glasgow. Sonica Glasgow, produced by Cryptic, is an 11 day biennial festival dedicated to world-class visual sonic arts, presenting exceptional international artists alongside emerging UK talent in diverse venues, city-wide.
