Campbell Scientific are proud to announce their support and
sponsorship of Variable4, a musical art installation taking place in
Dungeness, Kent in May. Artists and composers Daniel Jones and James
Bully will be using the output of a Campbell weather station to create
unique patterns of specially composed pieces. Changes in wind speed,
wind direction, solar radiation, air temperature, relative humidity
and rainfall will create unique mixtures over a 24 hour period. Seehttp://www.variable4.org.uk/forfurtherdetails of the project andhttp://www.campbellsci.co.uk/index.cfm?id=1067fordetailsof the
station they are using.

I went to an exhibition of something like this in Liverpool once. The
organisers set up sound systems to link to stuff that reacted to the
people visiting. It was absolutely spellbinding.

I would urge everyone who can to go and take as many friends as they
can convince with them.

I'd advise us to club together and pay Les to go bat the wind vane
with a stick!

If W finds it "spellbinding" you can bet your bottom dollar that it'll
involve some incredibly boring, long-winded and unintelligable sounds,
no-one will actually take any notice of it, no matter how long it goes
on and the end result will be................it just won't work. *))

The two composers have worked on many successful projects in the past
and secured funding for Variable4 from the PRS for Music Foundation.
This is a professional art project involving careful planning and
thorough advanced testing; there is little chance of it not working.
The event might not be to everybody's taste as is often the case with
art but the organisers have already had a very positive early response
from their social media promotion and they expect to be laying on
buses from London to the event. The plan is also to stream the output
via the internet.

We expect the event to be unusual enough to attract media attention
even away from the art world with main stream local news and our own
trade publications taking an interest.

If you are interested then you are very welcome to attend or follow
events at their website or via their Twitter or Facebook pages.
