If you’ll pardon the pun.
I’ve just been sent this info about an event taking place in July. I’ve added in the link showing where the venue is on Google maps.
Title: Gas Organ exhibition
Venue: The Sassoon Gallery
Location: Blenheim Grove, Peckham Rye, London SE15
Date: 16th – 18th July
Time: Midday – 9pm
Cost: FreeOn three sultry nights in July, the sepulchral vault of Peckham’s underground venue The Sassoon Gallery will reverberate to the eerily melancholic strains of the infamous Gas Organ.
The Brain-child of founding collaborators Lou Smith and Rufus Burdett, the Gas Organ is a fabulous musical instrument, able to play itself, or be controlled or played remotely.
Constructed from freely available plumbing, electrical and laboratory components, the Gas Organ is a fusion of Art, Science and Engineering, beautiful in its clinical appearance and mesmerising in its auditory effect. Witnesses of the event have their credulity challenged as they view the ephemeral chaotic turbulence of a flame producing such incredible range and depth of sound; how can a science lab experiment evoke such an emotional response as this? I am watching this, but I don’t believe it.

I will definitely be checking it out.
Hi Nic, did you make it down to the private view of the Gas Organ?

Hi Lorraine, no I didn’t – I really wanted to and unfortunately some work stuff got in the way and I completely missed it :-(
Hi Nic, we’ve got another Gas Organ event, in Elephant and Castle this Friday, I hope you can make it! See web site for info. Regards, Lorraine
