Field Modulations: Membrane

Signe Lidén Giuliano Mozzillo

Friday 30 November, 5.30pm and 6pm (two 20-minute performances), Garden Quad and Auditorium

Membrane presents Signe Lidén´s research during her residency at St John's. Lidén has been exploring how fabric can have a hybrid set of functions: all at once, a microphone membrane, a loudspeaker, a sound absorber. With the Garden Quad as the location, she reveals how an acoustic canvas can render seamless transitions between instrument, environment, and perception.
