About this Event

Immerse yourself in a mesmerizing fusion of art and science.

marks the première of Hannah Read’s albums The Fungi Sessions Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 as an audiovisual installation. The Edinburgh-born musician and composer gives voice to fungi through songs dedicated to her late father, Nick Read, a pioneering fungal cell biologist. Newly released Vol. 2 takes us on a journey from the world beneath our feet to fungal wonders above ground.

This unique collaboration with mycologist Dr Patrick Hickey features a suite of microscopic time-lapse videos that illuminate each track.
