Organ & Light Installation

The church organ plays slow, low music while two light artists sweep the vaults with moving beams. Lie on a cushion in the nave and look up.

The pews are pushed to the walls and the floor is covered with rugs and cushions. For ninety minutes the organist builds long, overlapping drones from the deepest pipes while narrow white and amber beams travel the ribs of the vault, pick out a gilded saint, then fade to nothing. Nothing is projected and there are no images: only light, stone and sound, timed live between the console and the lighting desk.

Come and go quietly at any point. Warm clothes recommended. This is the premiere of a new piece made for this church.
