Soundscape is an underground city designed to allow the students of the Royal College of Music to question the idea and standards of a "Perfect" performance. The landscape is located underground between the direct path from the Royal College of Music to the Royal Albert Hall, symbolically hijacking the customary aspirational route from the RCM to the RAH. Soundscape interrupts this direct pathway and impels the students question and challenge their concept of music and performance by providing spaces specifically designed for unique performances.
This was an acoustic investigation done on the site of the project - Albertopolis. A performance was made in various locations on the site of Albertopolis to experiment with different acoustical ambience effects in different spatial dynamics. The piece performed was "Pie Jesu", chosen for its high notes that best bring out resonant acoustic reflections in difference spaces.
