Siren

Ray Lee

Experience the installation 10am-4pm from 15th August—25th August @ Unitarian Church, 60a Hall Gate, Doncaster DN1 3PB

A sound installation by British composer and artist Ray Lee, is a whirling, spinning spectacle of sight and sound. You will wander transfixed among a field of tall metal tripods rigged with rotating arms, each equipped with a pair of tone generators and two LED lights. These individually tuned sirens emit pulsing drones while the illuminated tips trace fiery patterns in rapidly circling trajectories.

Siren produces alarming sounds for alarming times: hypnotically intense but also strangely soothing, like a celestial choir of harmonic overtones. Immersed in this electrifying environment, you will surrender to the alluring spell of a unique sonic and visual delight.

I've loved showing Siren as part of ArtBomb. Siren is an artwork that is very important to me, I've taken it to some amazing places all over the world and it's been seen and experienced by thousands of people. The amazing Unitarian Church space in Doncaster is now one of my favourite spaces to have presented the work.
