On 22 June 2013, ships gathered on the North Sea to perform an ambitious musical score, marking the disappearance of the sound of the foghorn from the UK\u2019s coastal landscape. Foghorn Requiem<\/em> was performed by three brass bands, 50 ships at sea and the Souter Lighthouse<\/a> Foghorn. Using custom built technology and controlled and conducted from afar, ships sounded their horns to a score taking into account landscape, atmospheric conditions and the physical distance of sound. The composition, performed live to thousands of audiences on the coastal cliffs, was performed across a space of several miles around Souter Lighthouse; a requiem for the de-commissioning of foghorns, a melancholic and very human sound that connects the land with the sea.<\/p>\n
