Supersonic Festival is delighted to be partnering with the British Library to offer an opportunity for an artist to develop a new work as part of the festival programme in June 2015.
The British Library is home to the nation’s sound archive, an extraordinary collection of over 6.5 million recordings of speech, music, wildlife and the environment, from the 1880s to the present day. For this commission, a selection of wildlife and environmental recordings from the collection will be made available.
The the deadline for applications for our Open call for British Library Sounds Commission is this Friday, 27 March.
Full details about the commission and how to apply can be found on the Capsule website.
