Siren, Ray Lee, Futuresonic 2007
Visiting Victoria Baths in Manchester on Friday as part of Futuresonic 2007 we saw Ray Lee installing his sound installation Siren. An empty swimming pool was filled with a group of tripods with rotating arms, both ends of each arm transmitting a droning noise. Returning on Saturday for the performance, Victoria Baths was pretty busy with people sitting round the edge of pool and inside it.
It was a great performance. Ray Lee and his assistant wearing identical suits and turning each tripod in motion separately. I was expecting something a lot louder but the noise was really melodic.
