Music brings new life to a journey of discovery with the sounds of the Yorkshire Dales all around.Now an art installation in Skipton takes visitors on a sensory adventure, projected inside a hemispherical dome.
To composer Ben Crick, working with immersive media artist Michaela French, Soundscapes shares the diverse scenery of the Dales. A violin might capture the sound of a breeze, or the dance of light on the water, he said, alongside 360° videography footage to bring scenes to life. Mr Crick is conductor of North Yorkshire's only professional orchestra, Skipton Camerata, which performs the original orchestral composition for Soundscapes.
Studies show classical music can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and even boost immunity and memory. Research around the BBC’s Planet Earth series has also found that even watching nature o n our screens can help with anxiety. A team of creatives designed the dome, led by experts from Northumbria University's architecture department.
