From China - Music for Museums

Music for Museums' creates a soundtrack for museums using the history of the muzak corporation in the tradition of composer Erik Satie's proposal in 1917 that music fit specific rooms and architecture in the way that furniture is designed. Featuring Beijing-based musicians 718, Yan Jun and Zafka as well as UK-based musician Isambard Khroustaliov and duo ISAN, each track was developed for a specific functional area within gallery and museum spaces. Addressing the existing cultural and commercial typologies of the museum, 'Music for Museums' reconsiders these spaces of 'neutrality' to stimulate a critical engagement as places of production.
