7/8ths of a Second

This great installation took place in Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham in the late 90's.

• The Sound field by Mark Anderton - an area of hundreds of miniature samplers buried in the ground

• Noisegate - incredibly huge yellow tubes with sound sent thru them

• Matsubon by Max Eastly delicately beautiful sound sculptures in the Japanese garden
