Live performance: 25 May 2009 -- 10pm
Presented by: RobertJarvis
Public: Free
St Andrew's Church
Grinton, North Yorkshire -- England, UK

Robert Jarvis' Echolocation installation will be featured at this year's Swaledale Festival in Yorkshire, England on Spring Bank Holiday in May.

On this occasion the installation will be set up around St Andrew's Church in the village of Grinton, in the Yorkshire Dales, UK.

As the bats come into the graveyard(!) to feed at around 10pm, Robert's installation will pick up their ultrasonic biosonar calls and, with the help of Kyma, utilise the inherent frequency, amplitude and bandwidth information to control an algorithimic score.

Visitors to the installation will be treated to a surround sound experience where they can listen to Robert's interpretation of the bats' ultrasonic activity at the same time as seeing the bats flitter in and out of strategically placed beams of light.
