LOCATION: Bristol Old Vic Studio

For one week only the lunchtime talk is going on tour to #bristolproms to see the results of our chamber music hack:  A quartet is like a game of chess; simple in its make up and infinite in its possibility.  Can new technologies be used to open up and enhance chamber music, and make the audience feel like part of the quartet? For 48 hours the award-winning Sacconi Quartet have been working intensively with artists, technologists and producers to explore these questions. This lunchtime talk offers audiences an opportunity to hear about the hack, peer behind the process and play with the demos produced. Hack The Quartet is produced by Watershed in association with The Sacconi Quartet and Bristol Old Vic.

As this special lunchtime talk will be presented at Bristol Old Vic, rather than at the Pervasive Media Studio, it will not be followed by an Open Studio Friday this week. We will be taking our annual Summer pause from the lunchtime talk programme following this talk to enjoy the sunshine and will be back with a fantastic new programme of talks and open studio sessions on 13 Sept. If you would like to suggest a talk for the Autumn, we'd love to hear from you admin@pmstudio.co.uk
