Virtual Choir 3 Featured in the Olympic Celebrations

July 9, 2012 at 4:20 pm UTC

Woo hoo! Virtual Choir 3, ‘Water Night’, will soon be heard as part of the world’s largest 3D soundscape in an installation that will begin July 27.  The soundscape – ‘Tales from the Bridge’ – will run throughout the Olympic and Paralympic Games on Millennium Bridge (it crosses the Thames between St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Tate Modern.) Heard by over 4 million visitors during the games, the ‘Water Night’ audio will open the hour–long composition with music and poetry by Martyn Ware and David Bickerstaff.
