MY SECRET HEART

secret-heart1

Music and film installation, on a 360° screen with surround sound, by Sheffield’s own Flat-e, Warp’s Mira Calix and Dave Sheppard.

Commissioned by Streetwise Opera.

Electronic composer and Warp artist Mira Calix, video artists Flat-e and sound designer Dave Sheppard worked with around 100 Streetwise performers to create this unique work on a purpose built 360 degree screen with surround sound. The piece is inspired by the Allegri’s 17th-century choral work Miserere Mei, a piece so protected by the Vatican that they put an embargo on it. Mira Calix and Flat-e have used the theme of secrecy to explore movements and singing with Streetwise’s participants to create this new century-leaping work.
