The Music of Electricity

Click here to play a new online installation designed as part of hcmf's The Music of Electricity project.

Over the course of the project, A-level students from Greenhead College and Year 6 pupils from Spring Grove Primary School have been devising a series of new pieces inspired by the work of digital artist Tim Head.

Working with sonic artist Duncan Chapman and swapping material between groups during six days of workshops, participants have been exploring the means by which sound is created through the following questions:

  • What is the sound of electricity?
  • What is the smallest unit of audio information?
  • Image or sound - can we use fragments of image to generate sound material?

The results will be presented at a public performance at Huddersfield Art Gallery, 11.30am on Thursday 26 November and can also be explored as the project progresses through this installation featuring sounds recorded by the participants, which has been designed specially for the project by University of Huddersfield PhD student, Sam Freeman. You can read Sam's PhD blog here.
 
Tim Head's Raw Material exhibition runs at Huddersfield Art Gallery from Saturday 21 November 2009 until Saturday 9 January 2010.

This exhibition brings together recent work by Tim Head exploring the nature of the digital medium, its elusive material substance and its unsettled relationship with both ourselves and with the physical world. The exhibition includes recent digital work, alongside a selection of drawings and an outdoor projection on the Library and Art Gallery building.

Monday - Friday: 10am - 5pm
