标志性的榉树街隧道的彻底改造

榉树街，伦敦巴比肯

2018年3月，59 Productions与巴比肯合作，首次推出了他们的最新大型公共艺术作品。这个作品跨越榉树街隧道，将观众带入现代古典音乐的世界，让他们近距离亲身体验一个完整交响乐团的声音形态。

活动使用了Esa-Pekka Salonen的《卡拉瓦尼》管弦乐团和合唱团的特别录音版本，并由托尼奖得主Gareth Fry设计了独特的音效，与隧道的声学反射特性相结合。

除了管弦乐团的共鸣声音外，隧道的墙壁和天花板成为了投影面，展示出非凡且不断变化的光影图案，与音乐相互呼应，用透视和视觉效果玩味观众的感官。这个免费的活动持续了整个周末，白天和晚上多次演出，吸引了数千名观众。

THE TOTAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE ICONIC BEECH STREET TUNNEL

THE TOTAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE ICONIC BEECH STREET TUNNEL

Beech Street, Barbican, London

In March 2018, 59 Productions debuted their latest epic public artwork, co-produced with the Barbican. Spanning the Beech Street tunnel, this immersive audio-visual feast closed a central London traffic artery to place audience members inside a piece of contemporary classical music, allowing them to discover the sonic forms of a full orchestra up close and personal.

Using a specially recorded version of Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Karawane for Orchestra and Chorus, the event showcased the diverse sounds of the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus using a unique sound design by fellow Tony Award-winner Gareth Fry, devised to play with the acoustic reflectivity of the tunnel.

Complementing the orchestral reverberations, both walls and the ceiling of the tunnel became projection surfaces displaying extraordinary, evolving patterns of light, working with and against the music to play with perspective and visual tone. A free event, spanning the weekend, the show played multiple times throughout the day and evening to an audience of several thousand.
