Bill Fontana is internationally known for his pioneering experiments in sound. His work explores the acoustic energy around us, using the physical environment as a vibrant source of musical information. He has realised many sound sculptures that explore the hidden sounds of architecture, including the inner workings of the iconic Big Ben and the Gateshead Millennium Bridge. Sunniside Partnership present Fontana’s work Wind Phase, a sound and video sculpture inspired by a landscape punctuated by wind turbines.
