Event details

What would it be like to hear a mountain? Or to listen to rock formations as they grow? Join renowned geologist and artist Tim Ivanic, who spends his life exploring and mapping the Australian outback, Dr Jude Brereton, an expert in turning data into sound, and award-winning composer James Cave, to explore 500 million years of the earth’s history through the medium of surround sound and music.

Tim, Jude and James have worked with a team of skilled musicians and scientists to create a series of astonishing works of sound-art that explore the shared mathematics behind geology and music. This is an open-air event, taking place in the beautiful surroundings of King’s Manor. It is suitable for all ages.
