Soundings comes to an end on October 7th at Kings Place with a new collaborative performance between SJ Fowler and sound art / experimental music legend Phil Minton. The performance is part of a night celebrating Hubbub at Wellcome Collection and tickets are available here.

Soundings has been a series of collaborative sound poetry and sonic art performances held in seven different venues in the city of London over the last 18 months. Each edition of Soundings began with Wellcome Librarians suggesting images, manuscripts and books from the Library’s collections in response to a title initiated by Hubbub curators. More here.
