As part of 2016’s Estuary Festival, composer John Eacott will be presenting his sonification work Floodtide, which makes music from the flow of tidal water. A submerged sensor in the Thames Estuary at Tilbury will gather information from tidal flow that is converted into musical notation and read from screens or mobile phones by musicians. Members of the Southend brass band, and those from Saint Nazaire, Brittany, amongst others, will ‘play the tide’ in the unusual concert venue of Tilbury Cruise Liner terminal.
Hear the tide of the Thames Estuary transformed into music, performed live in the unique venue of Tilbury Cruise terminal.
