The Cavendish: A Tone Poem
The Cavendish: A Tone Poem
This new composition will incorporate the bleeps, pings, drones and other worldly sounds of different labs and equipment at the Cavendish Laboratory for Physics, including the helium liquifier and helium microscope.
For the live performances in Girton College Chapel, a vocalist will respond to the recorded material.
The work is Ain Bailey’s response to time spent visiting the Cavendish Laboratory and meeting a wide range of physicists during the Fellowship.

Speakers
Ain Bailey
Ain Bailey is a composer, artist and DJ, based in London. She was selected as the Cavendish Art Science Fellow at Girton College 2022-23 from an international open call. Her practice explores sonic autobiographies and the constellation of sounds that form individual and community identities. Her compositions encompass field recordings and found sounds and are often inspired by reflections on silence and absence, feminist activism and architectural acoustics, particularly of urban spaces. She has developed numerous collaborations with performance, sonic and visual artists, creating multi-channel and mixed media installations and soundtracks for moving images, live performance and dance.
