About the Project
Commissioned by London Borough of Culture and the Mayor of London.
NEST is an immersive sound and light sculpture created by Marshmallow Laser Feast with composer Erland Cooper. The installation consists of beams of light in a ring that create ever-evolving natural forms in the night sky. The lights are driven by a score composed by Cooper which draws together the local the community, Lloyd Park and its wildlife.
My Role
Working with James Bulley and the Marshmallow Laser Feast team to install and mix the work in Lloyd Park, Waltham Forest. This involved managing customised large-scale Ableton sessions for spatialisation of multichannel audio works synced with lighting choreography software, as well as being responsible for amplification systems and physical installation of speakers.
