What it is
For the second cycle of the 'Keeping in Touch' Project, an 18m long silver rub-off surface spreads on the Royal Festival Hall hoardings. As people scratch parts of it, they uncover a new dimension to their environment – musical and visual collages consisting of love messages, spoken and written, hidden through a secret world inspired by Mark-Anthony Turnage latest piece, Hidden Love Song.
This project aims to create an awareness to the ongoing Education Project, a collaboration between the Royal Festival Hall Education Team, pupils of Lambeth Schools, the London Philharmonic Orchestra and their resident composer, Mark-Anthony Turnage. All contributed to giving the passer-by the opportunity to explore a fantasy Loveland. A moment of discovery and personal engagement, establishing a dialogue between Turnage's approach, the education program's involvement and the commuters.

'fragment, distort, scrabbing out layers and covering over traces'.
Turnage's fusion and urban approach are rendered through the constant remixing of three main components: discontinuous scratching noises, various extracts of the piece, children voices speaking of their impressions on the 'Hidden Love Song' theme. These three elements come together as a musical collage, allowing commuters to create their own piece as they play with the installation.
