We’re delighted to announce our new series Sound Unwrapped, the 15th edition of Kings Place’s award-winning series, which will explore spatial dimensions in live performance and the creativity of sound artists. Over 12 months, we’ll shine a light on pioneering artists and composers – past and present – who play with sound in space.
A partnership with d&b audiotechnik will see Kings Place install the state-of-the-art d&b Soundscape in its flexible Hall Two space. d&b Soundscape is an alternative to the traditional left and right stereo system, using 19 loudspeakers in the round to open up a plethora of creative possibilities for artists, including the extension of the 360-surround dimension. Many of our Sound Unwrapped shows will utilise this technology.
From acoustic choral works spread around the Hall One gallery to spatialised electronic performances in Hall Two, Sound Unwrapped will interrogate the listening experience in new and unexpected ways.
With Mercury Prize and Emmy nominated composer Hannah Peel and electronic duo Space Afrika as Artists in Residence, the first wave of events for the year-long series is on sale now, with more due to be announced in November.
