Rehearsals have started by TripSpace for Thursday’s public performance at Malet Street Gardens – the site of Phantom Railings.

To follow the interactive acoustic installation online, you can view the score being produced in real time by people walking along the Phantom Railings…

Phantom Railings

An interactive sound installation in Malet Street Gardens, whose railings were removed as part of the 1940s war effort and never replaced, leaving a line of iron stumps along the surrounding wall. Using sensor-based acoustic devices, the installation makes evident the absence of railings by creating a resemblance of the familiar sound produced by running a stick along an iron fence.

This installation will be accompanied by a performance and a symposium.
