During 2013 Students from London College of Communications’ BA Sound Arts and Design and MA Sound Arts composition course were invited to develop Sonic Trails for Tate Modern.

Students spent the evening at Tate Modern after all the visitors had left and recorded the sounds of the building, as well as making their own interventions in the space including an impromptu concert in the Turbine Hall and a choreographed dance in the Joseph Beuys room.

BA Sound Arts and Design students were supported by tutor and artist Dan Scott

Our Sonic Trails are pieces of sound art, they let you listen to recordings and compositions created by artists. Some allow you to experience somewhere entirely different to your surroundings, like the clicks and songs of whales and other under water animals while you’re walking through the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern or a choir singing in the Duveen galleries at Tate Britain. Some allow you to imagine the process that went into making a sculpture and some uncover hidden sounds which can normally only be heard at night.
