Introduction.

The central aim of music for bodies is to make and present new and experimental music in public spaces and to explore and make other ways to experience it.

How do we perceive music ? How does the context in which we experience it affect our understanding ? Is musical atmosphere a function of time ? Can we stimulate our nervous systems directly with its frequencies so adjusting our experience of the environment void of linearity ? How can we listen ?

The sonic furniture I have made in the past is surprisingly successful in giving all kinds of people ways in to unfamiliar music. Ten years on and a practical understanding of space, sonic design and architecture through increasingly multi speaker playgrounds is developing this essentially collaborative research in the lab and the public.

Throughout there is a vital link to other practices and thought processes through quarterly meetings with a multidisciplinary Think Tank of professionals.
