Listen to an MP3 extract of Age of Spheres
The Age of Spheres is a son et lumiere installation utilising computer data projectors and a multi-speaker spatialisation of electro-acoustic music. The images come from fractal geometries and images of dragonflies (mostly photographed in Kent during 1998). The instrumentation consists entirely of seven Tibetan and Nepalese hand bells. Various computer transformations and extrapolations of the bells have extended the palette of sounds, to include sound complexes and more linear and continuous harmonic fragments of the bell resonances.
