Hear from Matt Smith, V&A Ceramics resident October 2015 – March 2016, about how his visit to the Spode factory in Stoke-on-Trent inspired him to create a new ‘soundscape’, a visual melody singing to the current state of the factory. A collaboration with composer Dimitrios Skyllas has resulted in an aural composition based on this new work.

Matt’s work will be displayed at the Museum during London Design Festival (17-25 September) and the world premiere of this new aural piece for the closed factory will be performed live by the composer on Friday 23 September in our Globe space at 8:30 pm.
