As part of the Plymouth PL:AY day there will be a free sound composition at Smeaton’s Tower, Plymouth Hoe between noon and 4pm on Saturday, July 28.
The lighthouse, as we all know, was built in 1759 on Eddystone Reef before being dismantled stone by stone and rebuilt on the Hoe. So you can imagine the funny old noises that will be going on as the building settles and groans, plus all the ancient moving parts.
Sound artist Dawn Scarfe has developed a new composition to capture all the pings and creaks of the building and lamp to encourage people to listen to their environment.
The first 100 people will be able to hear the piece for free, but shhhh, no chatting.
PL:AY is part of the People’s Republic of South Devon Summer Festival.
