Through a call-out for audio submissions, Sonic Sculptures 3 allows people to share their audio work—new or old. Join us to hear music, soundscapes, sonic artworks, work-in-progress, site recordings, readings, performances, and curiosities played back-to-back through an experimental sonic sculpture throughout the day in Primary’s Gallery 1. A programme of activities will also energise another sonic sculpture built in our playground against the backdrop of an expansive garden.
