Millimetre

Score for a Hole in the Ground by Jem Finer.

A PRS Foundation commission by artist/sculpture Jem Finer, in collaboration with Stour Valley Arts council.

'A musical instrument with ecological ideas' a trumpet/horn that stands seven metres above the ground or more correctly rises out of a well.

Situated in the beautiful King’s Wood, Challock near Ashford in Kent.

Inside the well are groups of metallic instruments suspended at a depth of six metres, above these a water system creates random droplets which fall, striking the instruments below creating tones which reverberate up from the chamber.

millimetre were asked to co-develop and make/install the instrumentation, drip system and sound amplification devices for the sculpture.

millimetre are responsible for the maintenance of score for a hole. We have recently designed and fitted a corten cover for the piece, replacing the lose flint.
