With five projectors, a kinect and the new Sonos PLAYBAR a 250sf shed is transformed into an other-worldly playground for the imagination. Inside, a stark black and white world reacts to every sonic nuance, visualizing any selected track. Movement through the space triggers visually changes and as visitors step up to the SONOS controller they are able to conduct the playground. The visual direction takes inspiration from the geometry of the Sonos PLAYBAR and minimalist wall drawings by Sol Lewitt. The installation ran March 11th to March 15th at Sonos Studio.

Just finished Tracey Thorn’s biography ‘Bedsit Disco Queen’, it was a good read. If your musical taste started forming during the post-punk music scene in the late 70s/early 80s you’ll find a lot in it that strikes a chord. It brought back memories of growing up in Hatfield & travelling to London for gigs in early 80s
She mentions playing with the Marine Girls as a support to Orange Juice, a gig I went to (although my memory has it at the Venue in Vicoria which is clearly wrong as the book shows an ad for it at the Lyceum). Strangely my lasting memory of that night was that Alice, lead singer with the Marine Girls, had one really large ear and that Edwyn Collins had massive hands. Odd the things that stay with you.
If you fancy some alternative beach reading I’d recommend it.
