Live Limited Edition CD - Sold Out
Silent Sound is a unique recording of a remarkable performance.
The project, by artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, started life as a live event at St. George's Hall in Liverpool on Thursday 14th September 2006. The event featured an original score by J.Spaceman and was recorded live using ambisonic techniques and a soundfield microphone to capture the physical sound of the space.
The CD has two tracks - the first a live spoken introduction by Dr. Ciaran O'Keeffe, Doctor of Parapsychology and resident sceptic on Living TV's Most Haunted. The second is the complete recording of the debut performance of J. Spaceman's new composition, performed by 12 strings, 8 horns, grand piano, tubular bells and vibraphone. This music carries a subliminal message.
Inspired by The Davenport Brothers, Victorian Spiritualists who conducted a public séance inside their Spirit Cabinet on the same Liverpool stage in 1865, Forsyth & Pollard performed inside their own soundproof cabinet, hypnotically repeating a single phrase into a microphone. This signal was processed by their custom-built Silent Sound Machine and transmitted to the audience, embedded in the music, outside the auditory range of human hearing.
This special package designed by Chris Bigg and Vaughan Oliver at V23 is strictly limited to just 1000 numbered copies, each signed by Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard and J. Spaceman.
Thank you.
