The starling murmuration season is well underway and Lancaster based artists, Darren Andrews and Dave Shooter/Guerrilla Biscuits bring us an immersive cinematic experience featuring a brand-new exclusive cut of Darren’s breathtaking films of the murmurations, with a live soundtrack.
The accompanying soundtrack will be created entirely from recordings of starlings; these will be sampled and reprocessed to produce a unique soundtrack to Darren’s equally unique film.
Darren is a freelance photographer who in recent years has been obsessed with filming and photographing starlings. His work will be on view in the Great Hall foyer during the evening. Dave is a sound artist and electronic musician focussed on improvised live performance; often using place or situation-based samples to create unique sound palettes.
A special and bespoke evening, and not to be missed!
“The speed at which climate change is accelerating has brought home to us how fragile the natural environment in which we live is, and Darren's images of mutability are a powerful symbol of this condition.”
Excerpt from Dr Bruce Bennett’s introduction to Darren Andrews' book 'Murmur'.
