Rock, Log, Water, Feathers, Tree, Parasitic Plant, Pebbles, Coal, Earth.
Dimensions variable.
'Sound Scape' is an interactive installation with 9 art in nature sculptures and music composed by Julia Harding developed in 2016. It was awarded an a-n Artist Information Company Professional Development Bursary. The world premiere was on Sunday 18th September and a further performance will be on February 23rd at Manchester Art Gallery included in the 'Thursday Lates' programme. Each performance is different according to the choices of the musicians in selecting the sculptures and the music and lasts around 40 minutes.
'Sound Scape' has nine sections, every performer plays every section at least once and there should not be any attempt to achieve synchronisation of the parts but performers should feel free to respond musically to each other during the performance.

'Sound Scape' was performed on February 23rd 2017 in the atrium at Manchester Art Gallery, for their 'Thursday Lates' series of events. The next performance is on July 19th at 8pm at The Dome in Buxton - part of the Buxton Fringe Festival during the Buxton International Festival.
On July 19th 2017, Sound Scape was performed within the Buxton Festival Fringe in the Devonshire Dome, built in the late 18th century as the Great Stables for 120 horses and accompanying servants and visitors by the 5th Duke of Devonshire. It eventually became The Devonshire Royal Hospital and since 2001, a campus for the University of Derby and Buxton College.
The acoustics are incredible due to the massive size of both circumference and height, which added yet another dimension to the performance and the audience was extremely appreciative and moved by the performance and was able to walk amongst and around the musicians as well as view from the gallery above. We received an excellent review and were delighted to be nominated for an Award.

'La légende de la Cloche Perdue' by Lorna Green
Once upon a time a long time ago in the village of Hautecourt a very strange event happened. One dark and foggy night a large bell suddenly appeared in the wood. It seemed to come from the sky and the villagers could not understand how it appeared and where it had come from. For several days they pondered over its existence and soon made plans to install it in the church tower. Arrangements were made to move it but the night before this was due to happen — there came a great storm, wind, rain, thunder and lightening, more violent and frightening than anyone had seen or experienced before. Suddenly, there came from the sky, in the biggest flash of lightening ever seen, a thunderbolt, which set fire to the trees around the bell. In the intense heat of the fire the bell became molten and gradually disappeared into the ground. The villagers watched the great fire with fear and trembling as the bell which arrived from the sky slowly melted into the earth.. No trace of the bell was ever found — no one knew where it came from and no one knows where it went to, but maybe it returned to the depths of the earth where the copper was originally mined? The mystery of the lost bell may never be resolved.
