Lakes Alive Harmonic Fields by Pierre Sauvageot, Birkrigg Common, Ulverston
For two days only, internationally acclaimed French artist and composer, Pierre Sauvageot (Lieux publics, France) created an ‘interactive musical soundscape’ on Birkrigg Common, near Ulverston from 3-5 June. Connie and I were impressed by the musical landscape when we went on Saturday evening and the dramatic sky at twilight added some atmosphere to the proceedings. I’m not sure what Dougal and Casper made of it all though, there was more noise and people than they were used to!
