Working closely with interactive visual and sound designers Dave & Gabe we brought the science, structures and emotions of sound to life. We also collaborated with the iconic Beggars Group of labels, with music from The National, Holly Herndon, Slowthai and many other artists leading the experience.

The first room showed how sound moves through a space. Guests navigated through a 360-degree sound experience consisting of 1,720 LED globes, 20 channels of audio, and 18 speakers.

The second room broke down a song into its component parts using light and sound sculptures, illuminating in sync with The National’s Rylan.

The third room invited visitors to see the effect that music has on our brains. Wearing an EEG headband, guests viewed their emotional reaction to tracks from the Beggars Group catalogue.

The installation also included The Sound Lounge, a space for visitors to relax and demo the Google Assistant. Inside were bespoke sound booths, carefully chosen furniture and event collateral in line with Sonos’ new visual identity.

In collaboration with Sonos, we programmed and delivered a series of events featuring talks, Q&As, and screenings with some of the artists featured throughout The Brilliant Sound Experience.
