Free Tower Tour at 3pm on 3rd May at St George’s Ramsgate as part of the launch event of ‘sixty beats per minute’
sixty beats per minute turns St George’s Church in Ramsgate into a musical instrument and time machine. An array of microphones amplify the 1829 Vulliamy Turret pendulum clock, to form a multi-channel surround sound installation inside the church. The work performs a temporary reversal of time creating a feedback loop that focuses these technologies back on themselves. Matching the tempo of our heart at rest, the clock’s rhythm is known to raise consciousness and stimulate meditation. Specifically tuned to the resonant frequency of the architecture, sixty beats per minute creates a deep listening experience where audiences can reflect on the physical nature of time.
