Brian Duffy

Optophonic Lunaphone

British artist and musician, Brian Duffy presented a unique live performance that took place under the light of a full moon. Using a “Lunaphone,” a musical instrument invented by Duffy and made of specially adapted telescopes which collect lightwaves from the night sky, an ensemble of operators slowly explored and revealed the celestial soundscapes. Translating the lightwaves into sound through a mixer and sequencer, the performance created an unprecedented collaboration between the viewer and the earth’s atmosphere.

Co-commissioned by Ikon, Vivid and mac.
