Unusual Opportunity for Sound Artist
Deptford Green School, Lewisham.
An innovative comprehensive school with Humanities College status is
seeking to appoint an experienced sound artist to produce an original
‘Soundscape’. The finished piece will encapsulate the values and ethos
of the school. Their ‘Humanities’ specialism is built around the
school’s excellent work in English, Drama and Citizenship.
The finished ‘Soundscape’ will be produced in collaboration with a
small group of mixed-age pupils and be created from both the voices of
pupils and the sounds of the school. Once burned to CD the ‘Soundscape’
will be placed within a unique, new 3D installation in an internal
courtyard of the school. Designed in neon light by artist Tony Stallard
this work is sound sensitive and will change colour in response to
activity within the school. The ‘Soundscape’, once complete, will only
be accessed via the school web site where a casual cursor click on the
live image of the 3D ‘Think Tank’ installation will result in the
transmission of the recorded sound.
