Symphony of the Senses: Colour/Music installation at Hat Factory Arts Centre

Drop in to our unique Colour/Music Sensory Installation in the Hat Factory Art Centre Studio space and create your own world of colour and music through movement.

Large fabric "sails" fill the space and reflect and mix colours and light that you, the public, create yourselves. Our resident composer, David Stevens, will be in the Space to show you how to create whole orchestras of sound with just the movement of your hands, feet - or literally any part of your body - moving over special laser movement sensors.  Sound-paintings can also be played by moving your hands over the surface and you can “paint” rainbows of colour around the space.

There will be a special performance by local students from Woodlands Secondary School of their own “Symphony of the Senses” at 11.30am. Students will have learnt new techniques of music and visual art to create a sensory performance. Then the installation stays open all day for you to explore.

The school performances will be led by composer David Stevens with support from Eye Music Trust.
