Foghorn Requiem : a celebration of a sound

In 2013 more than 50 ships gathered on the North Sea to perform an ambitious musical score, marking the disappearance of the sound of the foghorn from the UK’s coastal landscape. More than 8000 people experienced the event created by the two artists Joshua Portway (UK), Lise Autogena(DK), in collaboration with the composer Orlando Gough (UK) and maritime communities in the North East of England.
