Playing in the Tate Modern


Played 45 minuets with David Toops 'Unknown Devices' improvisation group this afternoon. We were set up on the bridge of the Turbine Hall, so made full use of the acoustics of what is such a large space. The building has a natural low rumble, so the lower notes were quite hard to distinguish, melding together somewhat, but higher frequencies rang out like I've probably never heard before. Lots of people were watching. Don't know what they made of it, but most seemed to stay the duration and there was a positive response at the end . The highlight was probably 'the boundary piece', which you probably have to see as much as hear!
