The Fruitmarket built new spaces upstairs for the semi conductor film and shark piece. I’d been worried at how effective 3 false walls would be in containing the range of frequencies and vibrations played by the sharks but all for nothing. The space sounds fantastic. Warm but alive, wooden floor making such a difference to the concrete box we were in at at the Bluecoat in April. Also without an exact cube, not sure how shark movements would perform, but they are clearer than ever. Tuning and tweaking is straightforward, the random trains from below richly contributing, and I am inspired to make new material. We have built such an instrument for shark play and the chances to use it are too rare.
