Boundary Conditions

Tune back into the sounds we unconsciously block out in the hustle and bustle of life with performances responding to the noises of the environments around us.

How has our relationship with our world changed over time? Are you aware of the sounds around you? Does your background change how you listen? We strive to answer these questions and more with musical responses to environmental sounds, field recordings and ambient performances, with appearances from a multitude of musicians of different cultural and geographical backgrounds – the Ligeti Quartet, Cedrik Fermont, Kate Carr, Rebeca Omordia, Langham Research Centre and Li Yilei, live streamed to you.

We’re also taking over the Barbican foyers for free events throughout the day, including panel discussions, DJ sets, and live and electronic performances – check out our foyer programme here.
