Commission for SoundWave, Cumbria part of a series of proposals for wall pieces in their offices. I based my research on Rene Descarte's 'Musical Scale' diagram of a tempered diatonic octave diagram and John Bull's 'Sphera Mundi' circles which echo the cyclic form of music and represent the heavenly and earthly spheres suggested by its title. SoundWave is a 'not-for-profit' music organisation based in West Cumbria with a mission of Transformation Through Music, delivering a programme of inspirational music projects, including performances, events, festivals, and a large participatory music-making programme.
