Soundscapes, an immersive audio-visual installation that invites audiences on a sensory journey through the Yorkshire Dales, is now open to the public at Skipton Town Hall until 1 June 2024. The brainchild of Yorkshire’s composer and conductor of Skipton Camerata, Ben Crick, the installation was created by Crick and media artist Michaela French. 

Projected inside a purpose-built hemispherical dome, Soundscapes combines 360° videography of the Yorkshire Dales with a symphonic soundtrack, inspired by the landscape.

Audiences sit, or lie, under the cinematic dome to undertake an extraordinary experience of sight, sound, and space, with the original orchestral composition performed by Skipton Camerata, North Yorkshire's only professional orchestra. A dynamic team of creatives from across the north has collaborated to design the installation.
