Re-Sounding Falkland

Wilson and Chapman have recently been awarded research and development funding by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation towards the creation of temporary sound installations on the Falkland Estate. This will be used to enable dialogues with relevant archaeologists, historians, architects and others in a project to explore and uncover the sonic properties of the Estate.

The first phase of this project – an mp3 based pre-recorded audiowalk -  was launched at the Big Tent Festival, Falkland  (July 25th -26th 2009). You can asses the audio walk at: Falkland AudioWalk

A final exhibition of the above work, and three new installations: Temple of Decision, a video piece exploring the ruined folly; Cascading, a 6-Channel audio work based on the allegedly ‘tuned ‘ House of Falkland cascades and Chase a yard worse than last, a live piece based on a game of Real Tennis in the Falkland  Palace court, was held on in Falkland May 29th – 30th 2010.
