A collaborative audiovisual project between L'Ku (Kulvir Bhambra) and Andy Harper, reimagining L'Ku's 2023 EP "Clouds" through live visuals in a projector-based installation. This piece bridged visual and auditory art forms, creating a dynamic experience that aligned with LCB Depot's focus on sound art and collaborative work.
Through several rehearsals, I crafted physical clouds—floating, translucent backdrops—that visually embodied the ethereal tones of Kulvir's kalimba, enriching the sensory depth of the installation. The performance captured the essence of Kulvir's work while exploring how visual elements could enhance musical storytelling.
Our involvement in the SOUND programme provided a platform to experiment with collaborative audio-visual practice, test our partnership, and gather public feedback. This experience informed future plans and collaborations while contributing to Leicester's sound art community.
As Clouds: Elevated evolves, it will integrate sensor-based technology to foster greater audience interaction, combining technological innovation with mindfulness to promote well-being and enhance inclusive engagement in the arts.
