Acoustic Life of Zinc is a sound, video, music, performance and installation piece, capturing the incredible hidden world of Nyrstar’s Zinc Works globally, in sound vision and installation.
Initially developed at the Zinc Works in Hobart Tasmania, to international musical acclaim, the project has since made an impact in the Northern Europe, partnering with Nyrstar’s plant at Budel
Music meets machinery in Acoustic Life of Zinc, as composers, filmmakers and animators incorporate industrial sounds sampled at the Zinc Works and combine it with percussion played on amplified zinc ingots and instruments, along with machine–inspired rhythms and ambient noise, all recorded on site, to bring alive the sounds of Nyrstar factories in Northern Europe and Australia.
