The Marvelo Project studies, makes and plays with sound, mapping and collective composition for mobile performance, making new music for outside spaces that plays from sonic bikes as you ride.
Locally made by the Marvelo Team, the music is sourced from home and street recordings, then mixed and processed into fragments using maps and routes as scores, finally laying one huge sound work over the neighbourhood. Take out a Marvelo Bike and a visitor can find their own sequence through the score, each ride revealing a unique performance for cyclist and passer by.
The Marvelo Project was commissioned by the Folkestone Triennial 2008, curated by Andrea Schlieker, facilitated by Niamh Sullivan of the Creative Foundation, and ran from June 14th to September 14th 2008. DETAILS .
