Following the success of Diminished 7th v1.0 as part of Arts
Transpennine 2003,
we have reworked this generative music system as part of The
Lost O; an exhibition
of works in and around the town of Ashford as Tour de
France 2007 passes through en-route to Canterbury. |

Ten
tuned sheepbells designed to create the C minor diminished
7th chord lie at the centre of this generative music system.
By attaching each bell to a sheep and grazing this small
flock alongside this year's first stage route, a potentially
infinite variety of generative musical outcomes can be
created that respond in a direct and extremely sophisticated
manner to the location within which they are installed.

For centuries, European farmers have
used cow and sheep bells as a means to locate cattle left
to graze unenclosed land. By re-contextualising this technology
in the Kent countryside, and by utilising chord structures
associated with Jazz music, we hope to focus on the potential
for such sheepbell installations to make their salient contribution
to the generative music community in the wake of such historical
precendents set by artists like John Cage and the Fluxus
movement.
