River Soundings

The Guardian Guide highlight's an intreging event, Bill Fontana's River Sounding, organised by Sound and Music at Somerset House.

River Sounding

This charming arts project has found its ideal home, with Somerset House being just a weak stone's throw from the Thames and enjoying it own front door out on to London's often ignored centrepiece.

The piece is made from sounds recorded along a 100-mile stretch of the River Thames by artist Bill Fontana, with sounds installed in parts of Somerset House not normally open to the public.

A supporting programme including talking walks with London shaman Iain Sinclair and Tate curator Nicola Moorby expounding on Turner's relationship to the river.

Film makers William Raban, James Holcombe and Adam Asnan add their own visual interpretations of the Thames

Somerset House, WC2, Thurs to 31 May. www.somersethouse.org
