PLAY & SEE
Amazing to ‘see’ sound. Beautiful, uplifting experience.
I would give it 11 golden stars.
Interactive sound and moving-image installation Play & See lets anyone step up to the piano to bring new worlds to life – no experience needed. Each note you play shapes a shifting scene: flocks of birds might take flight, trees might grow, you may soar through an infinite tunnel.
Whether you’re just tapping out a few notes or playing a full piece, this interactive installation transforms your exploration on a real piano into something vivid, unexpected, and alive.
Play & See premiered at Arnolfini Bristol . This short video shows what it’s all about:
We are currently planning tour dates for Play & See for the coming season. If you represent (or want to recommend) a venue or institution that would like to host, please get in touch !
A presentation of Play & See can also be paired with a one-off or a 2–4 week series of creative‑coding workshops, where participants design their own interactive visual scenes — see Creative Coding Workshops . These can then be incorporated into a public presentation of Play & See within their local community.
Super rad – unpretentious & fun, everything art should be.
Mesmerising – made me a better musician. Made me able to play & improvise in a way I never have before.
