The Future Of Sound is a sonic spectacular that showcases cutting edge artists in music and audio design, performing their innovations and discoveries in surround-sound in the Entrance Hall of the Library, and against a sumptuous projected backdrop. Inspired by the experiments of the 20th Century Avant Garde, the event will present contributions by the infamous Scanner (aka Robin Rimbaud), who recently composed a new national anthem for Europe, the Modified Toy Orchestra and their new electronic instruments created from abandoned children’s toys, Tal Rosner’s image-scapes to scores by Stravinsky and other composers, and audio/visual/digital band The Sancho Plan. The Future Of Sound is conceived and presented by Martyn Ware of Illustrious Company.
