listen to ivon oates' 'doves perform' here:

doves perform

doves perform

duration: 3:33min

 

This is the performance given by a family of doves residing in a derelict fourteenth century chapel, st catherine’s, in abbotsbury, dorset. They were responding to nichola christie and myself using violin and viola to articulate the space and explore the uniquely sonorous architectural acoustic for which the building is known.

Listen.
