This piece documents a performance conducted at the Open House Festival in London, 2022. It took place on Hackney’s Beck Road, a street known for its artistic community. The audience was invited to spin a set of humming tops laid out under a railway bridge. Each of these toys emitted a drone when spun. The toys were mic'd up and processed through a bank of effects, creating a long hypnotic symphony of drones that interacted with the passing trains and incidental sounds. Photo: Jack Kitchen.
