An interactive sound and visual experience where you the audience are 
expected to participate. Gaming meets rock!

Media Art Bath is excited to announce the presentation of an innovative 
new work by juneau/projects/ – Sewn to the Sky. Sewn to the sky is an 
interactive sound and visual experience that blurs the boundaries 
between sound and vision by presenting a performance by a four-piece 
band (led by juneau/projects/ themselves) that is seamlessly integrated 
with an interactive visual animation. The musicians play customized 
instruments (guitar, bass and drums) that interface with the animated 
images of the game created by juneau/projects/ with programmer, Ben 
Neal. Sewn to the sky connects the process of playing a musical 
instrument and the structures of composition within visual experience 
and new technologies as particular sounds and instruments interact 
differently with the animation. Each performance will conclude with the 
opportunity for the audience to play the instruments and try out the 
customized gaming gear.

Sewn to the sky continues juneau/projects/ typically charming but 
poignant exploration of the interfaces between nature and technology, 
which in this case sees Indie, DIY band culture meet the world of 
gaming. The result is more craft work than Kraftwerk, like Gram Parsons 
meets The Brothers Grimm to a soundtrack by Smog and Sigur Ros.

juneau/projects/ were formed in Birmingham in 2001 by Philip Duckworth 
and Ben Sadler. They have worked with soul legends, cub scouts, paid 
assassins, landed gentry, teenage bands and ISDN pioneer funk Scots to 
produce artwork in the form of radio broadcasts, audio cd’s, spoken 
word narratives, an online record label, installations and videos. 
juneau/projects/ have been involved in several high profile commissions 
and tours both nationally and internationally, namely Romantic 
Attachment, PS1, New York (2004) and The Black Moss, touring across the 
UK (2006).

is a Bath Festivals Forum (BFF) education project. Bath Festivals Forum
