Silo performance at the Here! Now! Festival

Performing at the Now! Here! Festival on Sunday August 12th, Stanier Black-Five will be harnessing the amazing acoustics of the cement silos of Auckland’s Silo Park. In this performance, she will be building a soundscape using earlier recordings made at the site, re-introduced into the space with its phenomenal reverb.

  1. Yes, it was an amazing space. I did record the performance as I liked the idea of a recording of me working with the recordings I’d previously made there. I haven’t listened back to the recording yet, but if it sounds good, I might even work this into another performance, possibly one in the UK next month. It won’t be in as exciting a space acoustically but the material is still pretty powerful!
