Building on the success of my Nightingale sound installation for Margate High Street earlier this year, I am now working on a new series of installations - going under the name of Singing Windows.  My purpose is to extend my explorations and evaluation of sonic interventions and their impact on place, people and behaviour, and to this end I have enlisted the help of independent evaluator Michelle Boakes, Margate Task Force (local police), and a researcher in environmental psychology at the University of Surrey.  As before, these installations make use of Feonic technology to allow me to use shop window fronts as loudspeakers from which the installation sounds.  Currently, I have installations in Margate and Broadstairs.  Further details (including maps) can be found on my dedicated Singing Windows website.

I also have a new sound installation in this month's Duchamp festival in Herne Bay - a celebration of the centenary of the artist's visit to the town in August 1913.  This piece, which I have entitled Erratumgale takes its inspiration from the Erratrum Musical composition conceived by Duchamp one month before his visit to the town, as well as the 1920s recordings of Beatrice Harrison who used to play her cello in her cottage garden whilst being accompanied by nightingale song.  Just as Duchamp rejected the canvas to work on glass, by using Feonic technology I am also able to use glass as my medium, in this case for transmitting the sound.
