On the 20th of April, 1914, immediately before the outbreak of the First World War, the premiere performance of a revolutionary noise symphony, Awakening of a City by futurist artist Luigi Russolo took place.

Almost a century later, a group of artists, led by Brighton-based Sound Artist, Joseph Young, come together to respond to the surviving 7 bars of the printed score in a series of ReAwakenings.

In his latest solo work, The End of Listening (ReAwakening of a City #5), Joseph has created an immersive sound installation for iPods at a&e gallery in Cheltenham Place, Brighton.

The sound files will be available online at http://neofuturist.blogspot.com from January 7th til the 23rd. You are invited to download the work at home and then bring along your iPod/iPhone/mp3 player and listen to it in our auditorium; or alternatively, you can pick up a pre-loaded iPod at the door (limited numbers available).

Preview: Friday 7th January 2011 @ 7 – 9 pm with an exclusive performance and artists’ talk by Joseph Young, aided and abetted by Peter Faulkner.
