greyworld, well not quite, sound collective

Having worked with greyworld before it's good to see them doing so well. A sound installation artists collective that create audio landscapes in some of the underused and forgotten spaces.

They produced a sound installation in a tunnel at Glastonbury 2000. The year badly drawn boy was on at the new band tent. The tunnel linked the main field site to the Greenpeace field, when people walked through their steps created an audio scape. The tunnel use to be a no go area at night, and they turned it into a place where 2000 people and hour were going through and hanging out there.

Above is one of my favourite projects they have done railings. Each railing was tuned so that when you run a stick along it they played The Girl from Ipanema. The work is subtle but very playful, it makes a grey world that bit brighter.
