The Sound of Colour double bill: Origins and Arrivals

This event is a double bill presentation of the sell-out projection artwork from 2021 entitled The Sound of Colour: Origins and our new work The Sound of Colour: Arrivals.

Expect stunning visual projections filling the ceiling of the town church accompanied by a fully immersive soundscape. The Sound of Colour: Arrivals features visuals by multi talented International artist Akhila Krishan, a soundscape by the brilliant Jersey electroacoustic composer Sarah Keirle and is co-authored and produced by ArtHouse Jersey’s Natasha Dettman. The Sound of Colour: Origins is also designed by Akhila Krishan and features musical compositon by Viv le Vav with vocals by Casi Wyn.

The Sound of Colour: Origins explores the human journey on a macro/micro level from the intricate patterns found in nature, to the vast expanse of the cosmos and our sense of place within this moment in time.

The Sound of Colour: Arrivals traces the emergence of language in Jersey; from the distant whisperings of the Magdalenian people of the late Stone Age, the Iron Age Celts of Gaul, the Romans, the Franks, the Normans, to the emergence of our native language Jèrriais and the languages spoken in the Island today. The piece aims to evoke a deeper understanding of how our language and culture has been woven into existence and shaped over thousands of years of settlement.
