You’ll be able to hear stereo versions of these recordings at ‘The Hay Wain: Walking Constable’s Landscape’ exhibition at Christchurch Mansions in Ipswich from July. There will also be a series of six live events to listen to the ambisonic recordings, that will include sonic performances by commissioned artists responding to the recording.
