This is a past event
Composers Professor Pete Stollery and Dr Suk-Jun Kim have brought life in a new way through music and sound. The rare book which once belonged to Henry VIII known as the Aberdeen Bestiary.
The Aberdeen Bestiary – a precious medieval ‘encyclopaedia’ - inspired composers Professor Pete Stollery and Dr Suk-Jun Kim, members of SERG (Sound Emporium Research Group). They produced a soundscape of animals and beasts featured in its lavishly illustrated pages.
Dr Kim, a sound artist from the University of Aberdeen, said it was the desire to open up the precious manuscript to the public that inspired the Bestiary Sounds project.
They will share their work at a free concert in Aberdeen’s 'Seventeen’ at 17 Belmont Street on March 27 at 6.30pm where the soundscapes will feature alongside projected images from the Bestiary.
Booking is not required.
