Join us at Cove Park for a special edition of Lights Out Listening Group hosted by resident artist Mark Vernon, 18:00-19:30, Tuesday 6 June 2017.

Normally based in Glasgow, Lights Out Listening Group is an open submission listening event that takes place in almost complete darkness. For this special taster event at Cove Park, Mark has selected pieces from the Lights Out Listening Group’s archives that range from sound art and spoken word to experimental music and radio works. Amongst many other things Tuesday’s programme will feature; underwater singing, a duet with a Hydram pump, the close up snuffling of a Pekingese dog, vocalisations in the amazing acoustics of the Hamilton Mausoleum with its legendary 15-second echo, a sonic tour of the last brewery in Alloa, a recreation of the sounds heard by tinnitus sufferers, cleaning rituals, random iPod shufflings, the destruction of a piano and Michael Bay’s ASMR relaxation tape.

This is the first in a series of monthly Hands-On events this summer that offers you the opportunity to meet some of the 30+ artists resident at Cove Park.
