Anatomy Orchestra

About

Come on down to Staffordshire St for a live musical happening dabbling in the surreal.

Anatomy Orchestra forms part of Full to Bursting’s public programme. The immersive exhibition indulges in the bizarre and unsettling.

Settle into the night as group of professional jazz musicians perform a direct, improvised piece of music inspired by artist and curator Haydn Albrow’s dream language.

Albrow will create a graphic score based on recordings from her sleep/wake brain activity, which, combined with an alphabet she created, will be converted into musical scores. Watch as the musicians interpret her dreams, creating a completely unique live sound experience.

Interlacing music and art, this performance will swaddle the audience in a dream-like soundscape.
