‘Living Symphonies’ by Jones/Bulley, an immersive landscape sound work that grows in the same way as a forest ecosystem is being exhibited at Compton Verney from April to August this year. It portrays the activity of the forest's wildlife, plants and atmospheric conditions, creating an ever-changing symphony heard from a network of speakers hidden throughout the forest itself.

The piece, Living Symphonies, is a composition that reflects and responds to the very ecosystem of the wood where it is played, from the photosynthesis of the trees, to a spider weaving its web and the flitting of a butterfly.
Through 24 speakers installed in different levels among the roots and canopy of the trees, ramblers stumbling upon this small patch of wood will encounter a haunting cacophony of musical sounds dictated by the interactions and movements of the ecosystem they stand in.”
