Florian Hecker's Inspection - Maida Vale Project

Live from the 91Èȱ¬'s Maida Vale studios, Robert Worby presents a concert featuring a new work by Florian Hecker for Radio 3's 70th season, using vintage equipment from the 1970s.

Presented by Robert Worby, live from the 91Èȱ¬'s Maida Vale studios.

As part of Radio 3's 70th season, the German composer and artist Florian Hecker creates a major new electroacoustic work inspired by the pioneering spirit of the Third Programme. "Inspection - Maida Vale Project" uses computer generated sound, a synthetic voice, and sound processed through a legendary piece of vintage equipment, the EMS Vocoder 5000, used by the original 91Èȱ¬ Radiophonic Workshop at Maida Vale in the 1970s. In partnership with 91Èȱ¬ Research and Development, Hecker's new multi-channel surround sound piece will be presented in 360 degree binaural sound via the Radio 3 website, in the 91Èȱ¬'s first ever live binaural broadcast.

Alongside the new work, Florian Hecker curates a programme of music by other composers, exploring the analysis and transformation of sound.
