Door Into The Dark

With a binaural soundscape to heighten the sense of total immersion, recordings triggered by iBeacons carve out the participants’ pathway through the piece. As you inch your way through a dark and unknown space, stories, soundscapes and instructions are triggered at specific moments.

The audio includes interviews with three people: John Hull, author of Touching the Rock, who describes the impact of losing his sight on his relationship with sound and touch; David Riley, a mountaineer who had an intimate brush with death; and Bryan Morrison, who took to walking the streets at night to lose himself and ended up in psychiatric care.

As you navigate the set – encountering forests, grass, a suspended bridge, walls that envelop and carry you, and much more besides – you listen to these individuals narrate their experiences.

Each physical moment finds its match in the story; you embody what you hear.
