Unfortunately due to the latest coronavirus restrictions in the UK we are no longer able to present the planned installation in the Cowdray Hall during the festival. Please watch the online film screening and Q&A instead above.

Duncan MacLeod’s The Metalization of a Dream is an open form sound-work responding to the dada and surrealist-inspired collages of artist Eduardo Paolozzi featuring a specially commissioned video by Claire Orme, who creates an ethereal virtual stage for the Galvanize Ensemble to perform in. At first dispersed and scattered, the musicians begin to overlay and unite as they journey deeper into the composition. The colours, structure and atmosphere are a nod to Paolozzi’s collages, visually encapsulating the inspirations behind the composition.
