One hundred and sixty years of history impregnates the wooden floorboards of the Upper Space at 22 Newport Street the former Lambeth Ragged School where London-based composer, artist and musician Leafcutter John is in residence. During June and July the old wooden floor will be symbiotically linked to software specially written to coax out sonic stories, old and new, re-told with the arrival of each visitor.
The second commission in the Soundtrap series — a portfolio scheme for new sonic works — includes a residency, a period of public activation, a concert, a limited edition CD, broadcasts on Resonance 104.4 FM and live web streaming, Wednesday - Sunday 12-6pm, also at www.leafcutterjohn.com
