Francisco López / Russell Haswell / Mark Fell

An evening of extraordinary sonic experience in Sheffield's prestigious Millennium Gallery and Winter Garden. Featuring performances by three leading artists who work with sound in radically divergent forms: the machine-like, natural and synthetic.

In the Winter Garden - Europe's largest glasshouse - Spanish artist Francisco López presents his "Mutated Forest" piece, a transposition of sonic materials recorded at forest locations all over the world, into a special multi-channel immersive performance-installation.

Also in the Winter Garden, Russell Haswell demonstrates a different approach to field recording with a surround sound performance of his critically acclaimed 'Wild Tracks' project (recently released on Editions Mego), taking the listener into the consuming sonic universe of the "Exceptionally Loud Propane Gas Cannon Bird Scarer", "Helicopter Trip", and "Electroswat" and more.

In the Long Gallery, Mark Fell's intense synthetic work places the listener within a 'multi-spatial' soundfield saturated by digitally generated waveforms and synchronized LED light.

Curated and produced by snd for Lovebytes 2010.
