Soundworks
The Arches, Glasgow
1994
A unique international competition/exhibition/concert commissioning ten artists to make sound sculptures (three dimensional objects with an integral sound element.) The results were only seen and heard linked to DJ’s and bands including Slam, Twitch and Brainstorm, The Fini Tribe, The Shamen, Dr Rapaniki and Pleasure - the result, memorable mayhem!
“A new crossover between sound and vision celebrating Scotland’s musical and creative diversity” (The Herald)
“A spirit of invention pervades the whole event” (NME)
