Nick Franglen launches his first project with Sound & MusicExperimental musician Nick Franglen launches his first project with Sound & Music in a remote RAF gunnery dome. 12 - 13 November (24-hour marathon, 2pm - 2pm) Langham Dome, RAF Langham, Holt, Norfolk. Franglen is inspired by the urban landscape and other found spaces, from London and Manhattan Bridges to a submarine, a mine and jet engine test bed. His work contextualizes its environment, providing an often spontaneous, improvised reaction to time and place. On Armistice weekend he uses this WWII anti-aircraft training dome as a unique place for his installation and testing site for his concept: ‘Hive’. Almost hemispherical, the Langham Dome was used as a simulator for trainee gunners, images of enemy planes were projected onto the interior surface of the Dome so gunners could learn to use the weaponry needed to shoot them down. Nick is using the derelict building to house this installation – and together with Sound and Music he will develop this into a new, traveling installation.
