April 26-27th 2pm-7pm
High Angle Battery Isle of Portland
State of Alarm is a new sound installation for the HIgh Angle Battery on the Isle of Portland Dorset.
The audience will be submerged into a haunting and deeply resonant sound world from the dark tunnels and concrete gun emplacements to the windswept mounds of the Battery landscape.
Commissioned by b-side and part of Portland and Weymouth Towns of Culture 2025. Mark Anderson and Liam Walsh will be creating a new sound installation, that draws on the special nature, topography, politics and history of the site, combining elements from Warning Notes, and the installtions Phantom Field and Feather Dervishes.
New work by poets Peter Cooper and Molly Dunne will be threaded through this sonic intervention, exploring notions of borders and boundries, and the history of the site, reclaimed as playground and sanctuary from authority.
