Sky Orchestra

The Digital Arts Development Agency (DA2) has been supporting an on-going project entitled 'Sky Orchestra'. The Sky Project is an ongoing research project that explores how one can perceive an artistic experience while asleep. Artist Luke Jerram is working in collaboration with international hot air balloon pilot Peter Dalby and composer Dan Jones.

It is an experimental artwork bringing together performance and music to create visual audio installations within the air and the mind. They are developing music specifically for sleeping people that is delivered out of the sky. Seven hot air balloons, each with speakers attached, take off at dawn to fly across a city. Each balloon plays a different element of the musical score creating a massive audio landscape.
