- To coincide with the UK launch of their new music-only service Resonate, music and graphics company Silent Studios are temporarily re-locating their recording studio to Beyond The Valley’s boutique gallery space on Newburgh Street in Soho. From the 18th February, they will transform the gallery into a working music studio. With help from a number of Resonate musicians, Silent Studios’ music director Liam Paton aims to write and design a 30-minute musical sound-scape at the venue.
- The project will be presented in the form of an interactive music installation. Over the course of the three weeks, visitors will be able to enter the space, pick up headphones and hear the work in progress, as the track is composed right in front of them. They will also be able to view the inspiration behind the piece, a series of six striking and intricately drawn posters by acclaimed illustrator Si Scott, that have been created for the forthcoming Resonate releases in 2008.
- The first installment of the sound-scape, created over the first four days within the space will become the soundtrack to the private view on Thursday 21st February. The second installment, to be completed by the end of the show, will feature on the second Resonate CD released in May 2008. As well as composing the sound-scape during the event, Liam is inviting anyone interested in commissioning Resonate to write original music, to visit him in the gallery. For an appointment please email liam.paton@silentstudios.co.uk
- The show is running for 3 weeks from Monday 18th February to Saturday 8th March.
