Daniel Jones and James Bulley, Living Symphonies, Summer 2014
Project background
Living Symphonies was a highly ambitious piece of new music, composed by Daniel Jones and James Bulley, that grows in the same way as a forest ecosystem, portraying the second-by-second activity of the forest’s wildlife, plants and atmospheric conditions.
A never-ending symphony of sound unfolds in real-time amongst the canopy, trees and undergrowth providing a remarkable new way for audiences to explore forests with their ears as well as eyes.
