This Is My Room

This is My Room is a sonic and visual journey for a group of live musicians and an audience.  

Part-gig, part-installation, This Is My Room focuses attention on the live musician as performer, each with their own theatricality and musical voice.

Electronics, viola, cello, violins and a grand piano begin in solitary worlds, slowly coming together through a series of provocations, collisions and negotiations. Taking place within a web of lighting wire which evokes cityscapes, skylines and private rooms, This Is My Room sees ghosts of the musical past square up to the forces of the present.

Paul Clark’ intense, exhilarating sound world interweaves a collage of hundreds of recorded samples of spoken voices played live by Damsel Elysium. This immersive multi-speaker installation is created with performers from Manchester Collective, an arts organisation renowned for their innovative experience-driven concerts.
