Dark Formation: Bomber planes take to the skies
Exciting collaborative works by composers and film-makers at the University of Sussex are to be performed in concert in London this month (Mon 27 September). The programme features a new piece by University of Sussex composer Ed Hughes and images of World War II Allied bombing raids on Germany from the Imperial War Museum. Dark Formations is a ten-minute audiovisual collaboration between Ed Hughes and David Chandler, Professor of Photography at the University of Plymouth. It is one of several new works to feature in the concert, part of the Out Hear season at the Kings Place centre in London. Conceived as one part of a larger project, The Shadows of Destruction reflects on the relentlessly destructive forces of war. This is done through new musical compositions by Hughes and rarely seen photographs and film footage curated by Chandler, from the Imperial War Museum, London. The images include aerial shots of the intensive bombing campaign waged by the Allies against German cities during the closing stages of World War II.
