Our spring season might seem far away but we're busy planning
and booking what is shaping up to be a spine-tinglingly
exciting one. We'll be launching the new season in February
alongside a refreshed website. Check out our added interactive
features that will offer you new ways to enjoy OCM beyond
our live events.
If you miss us in the meantime, follow us on Twitter or
join us on Facebook and we'll give you little tasters of
what we're up to!

Power
Plant in Lumiere |
|
| |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

|
| |
OCM originally commissioned Power Plant back
in 2005 for an event at Oxford's Botanic Garden. This summer
it was a huge success as part of the Edinburgh Fringe. Power
Plant has since been snapped up by Artichoke
to be part of the huge sound and light show, Lumiere.
Artichoke are world renowned for producing extraordinary events
such as Royal De Luxe's The Sultan's Elephant, which sent
a 42 tonnes mechanical elephant and twenty feet tall girl
parading through central London. The Guardian described Lumiere
as 'simply dazzling...four very special nights which no visitor
will forget'.

Siren
goes global

|

In 2004 OCM presented Siren for the first time at Upper
Heyford Airforce base. The piece is a whirling, spinning spectacle
of mechanical movement, electronic sound and light. It went
on to be selected for the British Council showcase in Edinburgh.
International promoters have since taken Siren to festivals
in Europe, the United States, New Zealand, and it has just
returned from Australia.

Pre-Season Goings On! |
|
| |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |

We just couldn't resist getting involved with some pre-season
music by Trevor Wishart on Friday 5 February. His electroacoustic
musings on the human voice transform the iconic voices of
Margaret Thatcher, Princess Diana and the Reverend Ian Paisley.
Acknowledged as one of the world's greatest living electroacoustic
composers, this will be fascinating...and not only for those
of an electronic persuasion.
This is a Oxford University Faculty of Music event, in association
with OCM.
