On Friday 31st January 2014 from 18.30 – 22.00 V&A will be hosting the first Friday Late of 2014, Sound it Out will present an evening of workshops, performances, installations and screenings considering music’s relationship with technology. Performances from artists who explore and exploit innovations in technology will be given throughout the evening. Oh and check out the sweet programme cover design by one of our favourites, Dogboy.

Boiler Room will be live streaming DJ sets, PAN record label boss Bill Kouligas and artist Mat Dryhurst will perform an improvised live manipulation of the Boiler Room feed accompanied by abstract electronic compositions.

Installations will explore sound and technology within the spaces of the V&A. In Spaces: Reminagined, musician Rival Consoles and graphic designer Michael Zoidis will deconstruct sound bites recorded during the evening into small fragments of sound and rearrange them live through an array of speakers. This audio performance, which aims to create the illusion of unknown spaces and events, will be presented alongside visuals that mirror the process.

A film from sonic and visual art project Emptyset, which combines recordings and video captured at Woodchester Mansion in Gloucestershire in order to examine how the physical characteristics of space can be codified by sound, will be on display in the John Madejski Garden. The relationship between sound and film will also be explored in a series of videos by artists and designers who use low-fi technology to create intriguing musical results, the reel of which will run on a loop throughout the evening.

A variety of workshops and talks will allow the visitor to explore sound and technology. Design and invention studio Dentaku will lead an opportunity to interact with Ototo, a kit that allows users to combine sensors and touch inputs to create a unique electronic musical instrument. TM instruments will guide visitors in making a sound recording to access from home using a monophonic synthesiser. Sociologist Laurie Waller and sonic artists Tom Richards and Fiorenzo Palermo will also discuss the changing role of technology in music and examples of sonic art in the 20th century.
