Made In EnglandYou are in: Lincolnshire > Made In England > BBC Lincolnshire Sound Sculpture ![]() BBC Lincolnshire Sound SculptureExperience the sounds of Lincolnshire with our interactive sound sculpture. You can be part of this piece of art, by suggesting a sound which, for you, sums up the county of Lincolnshire. Lincolnshire's contribution to the "Made in England" project will be an interactive sound sculpture. Why a sound sculpture? We wanted to create a piece of art that would allow members of the public to experience a bit of Lincolnshire. We're a county that's often criticised for keeping quiet about its hidden gems. A sound sculpture will allow local people of all ages to celebrate Lincolnshire, and those who don't know the county, to experience an enticing glimpse of our home county. What is a sound sculpture? It's a physical piece of art which makes a noise - simple as that! Our sculpture is likely to be based loosely around a piece of furniture. The sounds will be actual recordings of things in Lincolnshire (maybe the Red Arrows, the beach at Sutton on Sea, the sound of swans on the Brayford in Lincoln?).The sounds will be activated by the person viewing the sculpture interacting with it in some way. For example, it could be that when you walk past it or touch part of it, you trigger the playing of a sound. Help playing audio/video ![]() Plans for the sound sculpture What will it look like?The plans are only at a very early stage, so we can't say at the moment. The physical shape of the sculpture will be influenced by the sounds it will make, however, and that's where we need help from you, to suggest the sounds. When will I be able to see the sculpture?It's scheduled for launch on St George's Day, April 23rd 2009, and will be displayed around the county after that date. Details will be posted here nearer the time. How can I get involved?You can be part of this piece of art, by suggesting a sound which, for you, sums up the county of Lincolnshire. It could be anything at all - from seals at Donna Nook to the Mablethorpe Sand Train - if it's one of those sounds that shouts "Lincolnshire" whenever you hear it, then please do let us know, and it could be part of the sound sculpture. ![]() Sounds of Lincolnshire When will I be able to see the sculpture?It's scheduled for launch on St George's Day, April 23rd 2009, and will be displayed around the county after that date. Details will be posted here nearer the time. Who is the artist?Nick Jones has been selected as the artist who will create the sculpture. Nick has extensive experience in working with sculpture and is one of the artists involved in The Spires and Steeples project, which is a local arts heritage trail for Lincolnshire. About the projectThe project is being funded by Arts Council England, with the BBC working in partnership to promote it, and play an important part in shaping its development. Michaela Butter, Director External Relations, Arts Council England, East Midlands, says they are delighted to be working with the BBC on another joint project. ![]() Arts Council logo "The Arts Council is all about getting great art to everyone. The Sound Sculpture is a brilliant idea to capture the sounds of Lincolnshire and encourage more people and communities to engage in an arts project." Made in England is a collaboration between Arts Council England and BBC English Regions which explores the relationship between the landscape and the artist from a diverse range of artistic perspectives across BBC TV, radio and online. Since its launch in April 2008, Made in England has been building a range of projects - like Lincolnshire Sound Sculpture - involving local radio stations, artists and arts organisations and members of the public across the country, which aim to be as rich in diversity as they are strong in creativity. last updated: 06/04/2009 at 15:33 Have Your SaySend your Lincolnshire sound suggestions - Please leave a contact number or email address. margaret hopkin Noel Purcell Helen, Boston Gary Jacobs Ian Waudby Shari, Lincoln John Atkinson Joe Noble Dave, Boston Peter Tabois Ken Jacobs David Lorraine David Robert Bester exrear gunner Coulson Mrs. Anita Coulson John Cowell Simon Vallee ian jackson Allyson Dave Black Dave Black Suzanne Priestley Steve Bailey LINDA GRIFFIN Caroline Brain Colin Brough Ian Muchall Chris Wright NSE Sue Miller sqdr ldr groombridge Jon Fairholm Eleanor Romaine Roger Carrott from Boston Mike Read Andy Howlett Chris, Sturton Luv Boop Skegness Tony , Fiskerton Malcolm, Heckington Rod, Mablethorpe Christine, Louth Linda, Grantham Christine in Cherry Anthony Andy .
