“What Peter does is ‘sound architecture’. I give Peter a project and ask him to react. Architecture is a narrative. This project is like a DNA experiment. There’s a construction.” – David Adjaye
“Architecture can also be expressed as a kind of movement (of light, sound, people...) and ‘Dialogues’ is about how you can represent this fluidity, to bring it alive and create an immersive whole-body experience.” – Peter Adjaye
The Vinyl Factory and Music for Architecture release Dialogues, a limited edition vinyl-only album showcasing the ongoing architectural and sonic collaborations that have been developed over the last decade between music composer Peter Adjaye aka AJ Kwame and his brother, the award-winning architect David Adjaye OBE.
This album explores the creative process of the two brothers’ collaborations; each track corresponds to a piece of work by David Adjaye and traverses the intersection between music and architecture, between sound and space. It is a series of site-specific architecture and sound collaborations that span from Reflections of a Golden Dream, the soundscape for the Stephen Lawrence Centre in Deptford, through to Three Views of Light which forms part of the Genesis Pavilion in Miami, Florida.
The project examines the creative relationship between David and Peter, and the profound inter-connection between the human experience of architectural structures and the musical journey.
Throughout history, this connection has been explored and commented on, from medieval architects, through to Renaissance designers. Dialogues looks to re-establish and further this link between the two disciplines.
