Signal At Dusk
Jeroen Strijbos and Rob van Rijswijk are sound artists from The Netherlands. With their landscape operas and Walk With Me tours they have been performing all over the world for more than 10 years, immersing well known places in sounds and music.
In 2021, they performed Signal on the Dachstein Glacier in Austria, on Irvine Beach in Scotland and on a monumental Watchtower in the north of The Netherlands, each time creating a special performance exclusively for that place and time.
For Norfolk & Norwich Festival, they composed a piece with their renowned Signal technology. Twenty long throw speakers and four live sopranos will transform the surroundings of Great Yarmouth, from the beach to the city, and you are in control of your own musical experience.
The music changes as the landscape changes, but the pace and the exact manner is up to you.
Two site-specific performances accompany the installation, in which live sopranos provide a captivating transformation of the town and beach around them.
Please also visit Signal On Sea for the daytime performances.
