Sunday 10th March
For some people in the vicinity of London’s Southbank complex in these four days in March, their experience of the QEH soundscapes may have been fleeting, assumed to have been piped music via the venue’s PA system, or not even noticed. For others, it could well have been a profound, deeply moving encounter. Soundscapes' ability to be experienced in all these ways and more is just part of what makes them special.
Taking the four days together, much of what has been made available will be familiar to the seasoned soundscape listener. But there is also much that is fresh, different, and intriguing. Understandably, not everything lands neatly or nicely. Not all of it opens onto an especially fruitful avenue of exploration. Yet collectively, it amounts to an intimate artistic diary of a truly special challenge. As Fripp would later note, “Despite all attempts to constrain the power of music, the act of music is always remarkable.”
