(memories we made in the computer age)

Lewisham ArtHouse

august 2015

 

 

For his exhibition at Lewisham Arthouse, Alex Tyrrell presents Memories We Made in the Computer Age, a multichannel sound sculpture introducing music from the debut album of the same name.

 

Utilising a combination of found recordings, field recordings, and composed music for tuned percussion and modular synthesiser, the installation challenges the normative approach to composition and live performance. The exhibition presents the music in the form of an immersive, multi-channel sound environment, emancipated from the concerns of orchestration and harmonic arrangement; Alex's work problematises the relationship between composition and concept, challenging the listener to explore the physicality of the sound, while attempting to homogenise the relationship between artistic impetus and experience. 

 

The installation will also serve as a public launch for the album, “Memories We Made in the Computer Age”, giving listeners the opportunity to experience the work in its intended immersive realisation.
