Resonance Radio Orchestra # 'The Death of Kodak' Live at The Cockpit Theatre

The Resonance Radio Orchestra is a floating pool of musicians, engineers, sound-effects creators, actors, writers, composers and broadcasters devoted to making live radio-art. It is based in central London as the in-house artistic wing of Resonance104.4fm, under the direction of Ed Baxter.

Here they present a recording of The Death of Kodak, live at The Cockpit Theatre for Rough for Opera, 2015.

"Founded by George Eastman in 1892, the renowned photographic film company Eastman Kodak filed for bankruptcy in 2012. The Death of Kodak imaginatively charts this tragic trajectory in terms of the apparent eclipse of analogue technology and the dissolution of identity in the digital era. The graphic score (the length and structure of which is determined by Fibonacci Numbers) is drawn on digital camera flash units, projected on to the retinas of the individual musicians – a technique originally explored by Ed Baxter."
