Composer and sound artist Alice Boyd brings a new sound installation to Hall Two, featuring the sounds of King’s Cross’ green and blue spaces. This installation invites us to immerse ourselves in the vibrant soundscapes of the city, weaving together the natural ambience of the area with the voices of those who care for these cherished spaces. Experience the rich tapestry of human and wildlife sounds that shape King’s Cross, revealing the details we so often tune out in our daily lives.
Featuring field recordings and interviews, The Sounds of King’s Cross highlights the work of Camley Street Natural Park (London Wildlife Trust), Global Generation, and Word on the Water – The London Bookbarge. These voices bring to life the stories of the people who nurture and protect these spaces. The installation is mixed and spatialised using d&b audiotechnik’s Soundscape, creating an immersive, three-dimensional listening experience.
Join us for two listening sessions (6:30pm & 7pm) and step into a unique auditory experience exploring the intersection of urban life and nature.
This event will last approximately 30 minutes, without an interval.
Alice Boyd is also performing her new music with her band later that evening on Saturday 5th April in Hall 2.
