Peter Mcilwain - Sound Outside

Lung Trees and Bird Child Spirit are recent sound installations that are part of the Sound Outside project and demonstrate the artistic and technical approach that will be developed in the project. A further three installations have been funded across 2023.

Audiences have responded very strongly to these works with feedback like: "brilliant", moving", "very beautiful" and "important".

Please note that multi-channel sound is not well represented in stereo. For more examples of my audio work see: https://bentnail.art/sonic-art

Imaginary Ornithology, Burrinja Upwey, 2012 was created before my recent bout of illness. It was a very ambitious project that used a range of sophisticated technologies. It demonstrates my technical competence and on going interest in birds, nature and community engagement.
