This specially commissioned project explores the relationship between the crafting of physical objects and the shaping of sound. The Owl Project's 'Sound Lathe' is a unique audio instrument based on a traditional green wood turning pole lathe. Working with Mike Abbott, a leading UK professional wood-turner, the Sound Lathe will be used to create a 'Sound Chair' which will be exhibited 17-20 May at the Showroom Cinema.

The process begins in Edale in the Peak District where the Sound Lathe will be demonstrated and the components of the chair will be created over three days. As part of this process the Owl Project will compose a new audio work based on the shaping of the chair. The sound itself will eventually be embedded permanently within the finished chair to create a tactile and sonic record of the creative process.
