http://itunes.ucl.ac.uk/rss-feeds/news/news8 The sound of a jelly wobbling has been recorded for the first time ever in a soundproof chamber at UCL. The recording is being turned into a soundtrack for an architectural jelly banquet to be hosted at UCL at 8pm on 4 July 2008. The event, run by Bompas and Parr as part of the London Festival of Architecture, will see a troupe of dancers deliver a spoon-based performance to the soundtrack sampled from wobbling jellies and a delicious aroma of strawberries, and will feature jelly wrestling and other festive frolics. The ten shortlisted entries for an architectural jelly competition run by Bompas and Parr will be displayed at the banquet, at which the winner will be announced. The jellies, designed by world leading architects such as Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners, Will Alsop, Grimshaw and Foster and Partners, include the ex-wobbly Millennium Bridge and the Eden Project. The entries will be judged on innovation, aesthetics and “wobble factor”. The soundtrack for the banquet is sampled from real jellies wobbled in one of UCL’s anechoic chambers (acoustic rooms in which the walls are lined with sound-absorbent material) by sound artist Douglas Murphy. The jellies’ oscillations are being measured with the aim of transforming these into soundwaves. Douglas Murphy says: “It is refreshing to explore the sonority of a much neglected physical property: the wobble factor. Jelly entices us into a strange but compelling world of organic sounds. The sonic wobble is captured in two ways: by carefully recording the results of gentle coaxing and by expressing the wobble frequency as physically powerful base tones.” Thu, 03 Jul 2008 11:56:56 +0100 en-gb 2013 University College London Thu, 03 Jul 2008 11:59:23 +0100 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss web-support@ucl.ac.uk Douglas Murphy The sound of a jelly wobbling has been recorded for the first time ever in a soundproof chamber at UCL.
