After captivating audiences in New York and Halifax, Adventures in the Electroverse is making its highly anticipated London debut! Running from 12th to 20th February 2025, this immersive sound and art installation, created by electronic music innovator Martyn Ware, promises to deliver an extraordinary sensory experience.
Monitor Audio will be collaborating with Martyn Ware for this exhibition which combines Martyn’s love of oral history and 3D soundscape experiences. Adventures in the Electroverse utilises content reimagined from Ware’s Electronically Yours podcast, played back through Monitor Audio’s SoundFrame on-wall speakers. Each speaker is adorned with portraits of the artists and personalities who joined Martyn on his podcast. Visitors will be transported into the minds of influential figures from music, art, film, comedy, and beyond— creating a truly immersive and visually striking experience.
“We are delighted to be working in partnership with Martyn Ware and Monitor Audio to bring this exciting exhibition to life. Here at Conway Hall, we know the power of music for social good, bringing people together and transcending our differences. This exhibition and accompanying talks will be the perfect opportunity to share our passion for sound with you!” Holly Elson, Head of Programmes at Conway Hall
