Etiquette.

With Tommy Perman and Ziggy Campbell, I was commissioned by the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop in 2007 to build an ambitious interactive audio installation for the Edinburgh Festival. Full details of the Etiquette installation can be found on the project website.

The installation consisted of a table on which various boxes could be placed an moved around by members of the public. The choice of blocks and their location would determine music being played within a quadraphonic sound space. All the elements of the music that the table produced were recorded in the sculpture workshop and its grounds including some of the sounds of the table itself being constructed as well as ongoing work by other artists in the workshop.

Throughout the day, the “mood” of the table changes and along with it the types of sounds, music and tempo it plays. Here it is being quite relaxed… A free EP of music from the Etiquette project is available.
