Constable Ambisonic - John Bowers

As part of the Constable Ambisonic project, sound artist Stuart Bowditch has been making 360º spatial audio recordings of the locations of 20 paintings by John Constable. These have been taken one step further, with commissioned artists responding to Stuart's recording. In this special event, sound artist John Bowers will respond to Constable's drawing 'View on the Orwell, Ipswich'.

Stereo versions of Stuart's spatial audio recordings can be heard at The Hay Wain: Walking Constable's Landscape exhibition at Christchurch Mansion, which is open until Sunday 4th October.

This event is part of the Constable 250 project celebrating Constable's anniversary. Constable Ambisonic is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through an Arts Council Project Grant, with match funding from Colchester + Ipswich Museums, and support from National Trust Flatford.
