For this edition of White Noise, we came together as a community in St John’s on Bethnal Green Church to collaborate and create a multi-speaker experience for our audience.

Our participants chose their own place in the church and listened carefully to reflect their sonic or visual contribution to the space. The idea was not to compose music together but to use sound as a tool to reflect our feelings and tell stories to the audience, creating an audio-visual narrative that could be explored by our visitors. The format was BYOS - Bring Your Own Speaker, so if you worked with amplified sound, you needed to bring your own speaker. We welcomed acoustic sound too, as these work really well in the sonic environment of the church.

People who worked with light and projections needed to bring their own equipment as well, BYOB style. We had around 30 people responding to the open call of which 24 eventually participated and contributed to the event.
