INTERACTION SCIENCE

Mussorgsky’s Pictures at

is probably iamillarto most people in one version or another, but a more modern and untamiliar concept in linking music with paintings can be experienced at Edinburgh’s Step Gallery in Howe Street as part oi

the Edinburgh Science Festival between 3 and 12 April. Quite simply, and not even at the touch oi a button, music will begin to play when someone stands in Iront oi the paintings.

They’re all by Glasgow artist Ken Palmer, who has collaborated with composers John Maxwell Geddes and Adrian Finnerty, as well as the writer Ewan Mchcar, who has created visual poems based on live oi the paintings. Geddes has written music tor two at

the paintings, each piece just one minute long multi-track improvisations. ‘They're a purely personal reaction to the palntlngs', he says. ‘Just tiny little pieces which you hear lrom tiny wee speakers at ear Ievel'. (Carol Main)
