Lynch/Ramchaitar-Husbands

In June 2021 I was delighted to e-meet Kira Ramchaitar-Husbands and work with her on the Misfolding Project for Serpell Lab at Sussex University. We are planning to work together on my “Voices for the Future” project later in the year when we will be creating work about the mysterious world of fungi – The Wood Wide Web

‘Folding and Misfolding’
(June 2nd 2021) for sampled paper folding sounds and audio-visual electronics

It was created at a 2 day intensive online workshop led by Frances M Lynch for the Centre for Research in Opera and Music-Theatre at Sussex University.

Inspired by the research of biochemist and neuroscientist Professor Louise Serpell and one of her team at the Serpell Lab, Dr Karen Marshall, this short piece is a representation of the folding, and often deadly, biological mechanisms of misfolding proteins in relation to new research in the areas of Alzheimer’s and Dementia.

The project is due to continue next year when I hope to develop this demo into a longer work.
