Devon Turnbull and The Live Sound Program
A fixture of the London exhibition is Hi-Fi Listening Room Dream No.1. Created by and programmed with New York artist Devon Turnbull, the space provides a meditative environment for visitors to experience vinyl playback. The listening room features an evolving programme of unheard music, incorporating exclusive test pressings and studio outtakes.
Complementing the installations, REVERB incorporates a programme of live performances and talks. Theaster Gates debuts a new work titled Amplified. During daytime hours, the piece functions as a sonic installation. By night, the structure transitions into a space that hosts live performances by established and emerging musicians. Audio from these live events is recorded and pressed direct-to-disc on The Vinyl Factory Lathe.
