Rubble Music is a site-specific sound installation by artist Thor McIntyre-Burnie for the bandstand, at Arnold Circus in Shoreditch. A Measure commission in partnership with The Friends of Arnold Circus.
Thor Mcintyre-Burnie will plant specialist microphones deep into the soil of the Arnold Circus mound. The sounds detected will be used as an audio source for the installation at the bandstand, temporarily transforming it into a seismic exploration.
Thor talks about Rubble Music:
‘The fact that the Arnold Circus mound was created from the rubble of the slums is hard to ignore and for me, it is an integral element of the sites allure. Stood atop the mound, one senses that the ground beneath ones feet has a quite potent resonance.
Measure is collaborating with the Friends of Arnold Circus to produce a free booklet documenting the history of the estate and the revitalised bandstand’s role within the local community.
Opening Times: 2pm – 10pm
