I returned to the Maritime Museum today to meet with Hamish and discuss the ideas we’ve been throwing around by email for about 6 months now.

Hamish is very keen on the idea that I contact Claire Edwardes at Ensemble Offspring to discuss the ideas mentioned for live performers (and recordings of them) in a previous post, so I’ve already lined up coffee and will report on that again soon.

We spent the rest of the meeting discussing ideas for the sound installation – we’re both really keen to open up the engine room if possible (there’s just the small matter of asbestos down there to sort out first) which would be an amazing space to mix electronic and acoustic sounds. But there are many other areas, and the idea I’d shared about having the sound change as you explore the route through a deliberate bleed from space to space really worked for Hamish too. He’s going to send me his latest route plans so I can solidify that idea…
