Alice Boyd: The Sounds of King's Cross - Sound Installation

Earth Unwrapped

Composer and sound artist Alice Boyd brings a new sound installation to Hall Two, featuring the sounds of King’s Cross’ green spaces. This installation invites us to ponder the intersection of human life and the landscapes we call home.


Immerse yourself in the vibrant soundscapes of King’s Cross’ urban green spaces. This sound installation weaves the natural ambience of the city with the voices of those who care for these cherished spaces. Discover a side of King’s Cross you’ve never heard before, where humans and the natural world meet in the heart of the city.

This event will last approximately 30 minutes, without an interval.

Alice Boyd is also performing her new music with her band on Saturday 5th April, find out more here.
