Description
In the eighteenth century, the body was thought to be comprised of resonant strings. Music vibrated them, shaking emotions and temperaments in time to its reverberations. Filthy Lucre explores the strange noises and mathematical constructions built on these Sounding Bodies.
On Saturday 26th, we will move from installation to concert to gig, with a live music night being preceded by Jacob Kirkegaard’s sound art. On Sunday 27th, we will present Kirkegaard’s work alongside free workshops.

Concert – 26th November – £8/10/12
The concert opens with John Luther Adams’ Thunder from Mathematics of Resonant Bodies, a stunningly loud and resonant piece for low drums constructed in intricate polyphony. These works are performed alongside Julian Anderson’s Ring Dance, Jonathan Harvey’s tape piece, Mortuos Plango, Vivos Voco and Globokar’s ?corporel, a violent piece for body that magnifies the natural resonance of the performer’s chest and skull in crackling detail. Experimental composer CHAINES has been commissioned to create a new work for the event.
Alongside the principle players of the Filthy Lucre orchestra, the event features the band Ex-Easter Island Head Playing solid-body guitars with mallets, they produce a unique sound by using familiar instruments in a new way. They will play a set of their work, and join the ensemble for arrangements of math rock and Jean-Phillippe Rameau. Both integrate finely detailed, needle-sharp renderings of mathematical ideas with a striking strength of purpose and emotion.

Installation & workshops – 27th November – free
The concert is presented with Labrinthitis, an installation by sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard. Kirkegaard explores the tones generated in the inner ear: spontaneous otoacoustic emissions. These sounds are produced without stimulation by some people’s ears, producing something akin to an acoustic fingerprint. The tones emitted can be dissonant, microtonal and complex or harmonious and 'in tune'.
Kirkegaard explains this process in a free workshop on Sunday 27th. Tickets are available here.
