Echoes of Hill and Horizon

A collaboration between the OAE, pioneering light artists Squidsoup and the Southbank Centre's Concrete Voids sound system turning the Queen Elizabeth Hall into a living, breathing, epic three-dimensional instrument.

Hear works including Vaughan Williams’ breathtaking The Lark Ascending and the haunting Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis in this performance where history meets cutting-edge technology, harnessing the expansive power of the Southbank Centre’s bespoke Concrete Voids system to turn the Queen Elizabeth Hall into an immersive soundscape.

Pioneers in the use of light, sound and technology, Squidsoup makes artworks that combine physical and dynamic digital spaces with novel and intuitive forms of interaction to produce responsive and beguiling environments.

Concrete Voids, conceived by Southbank Centre Sound Technician Tony Birch, is a custom-built system of over 80 hidden speakers, turning the Queen Elizabeth Hall into a 3D sound instrument.
