Warning Notes

by Mark Anderson

Installation, Music/Sound

A night time image of a group of plinths fixed to the ground with prongs at the top omitting white light. There is a crowd and tall trees in the background.

A captivating sound-world that comes alive through an ever-changing outdoor live performance.

Using an ensemble of visually striking ‘instruments’ – gongs, bells, whistles and explosive events – Warning Notes gives a voice to the social and ecological alarm rippling across our planet.

A night time image of makeshift tree branches omitting flickers of yellow light.
