Everything from the trance-inducing sounds created by neolithic burial sites to 3-D soundscapes created by human brainwaves are to feature in a ground-breaking project making its British debut at Liverpool’s FACT Centre, in Wood Street.

The Future of Sound 2007 has been put together by Martyn Ware, a founder member of the electro-pop giants Human League and Heaven 17.

It will feature seven performances at the cutting edge of audio visual experimentation, promises Ware, who is now one of the world’s leading figures in the production of electronic music.

One of the performers at the FACT event on December 6 is Paul Devereux, who discovered that Neolithic burial grounds resonate at a consistent trance-inducing frequency of 110Hz which he claims shows our ancestors used their ritual sites to create their own mind-altering sounds.

He will be joined by Brian Barritt and Flinton Chalk, who will be presenting sounds inspired by archaeo-acoustics, a brand new field of archaeology.

FUTURE of Sound lasts from 7pm to 9.30pm on Wednesday, December 6. Tickets at £7 (£4.50 members and concessions) are available from the FACT box office or by ringing 08707 583217.

More at IC Liverpool and the Fact Centre.

As there's been two so far I assume there will be another. It was worth it just for the specialised speakers/ sound system. Yes Tim, there's got to be another time!

Brian Barritt's presentation is well worth hearing, IMO, but too short notice for me to get to this event - would have been quite do-able for me. Humbug. Another time, perhaps.

In fact this was on with all the above at The Royal Institute in London around march time. Very interesting. They showed a film of Brian Barritt (Timothy Leary's friend), and Flinton Chalk(odd name) in the burial chamber at Loughcrew. They experimented with sound at 110Hz. Hope the speakers (sound) in Liverpool are as great as the one's at the Royal Institute.
