The creative duo have conceived an art installation which transposes your voice to infrasound to give visitors supernatural experiences at Hilton London Bankside's swimming pool. 'Voice of God' is a world first; the only time that infrasound has been creatively used to give people a spectral visitation. The physical installation poses questions about consciousness, our perception of the physical world and our understanding of the supernatural. Bompas & Parr has worked with acoustic scientists to design and build the sound-based installation that appears to connect you with the supernatural. A custom sound system created by TPI Sound will broadcast infrasound at 19 Hz. This frequency is below the regular hearing threshold of a human but is the resonant frequency of the human eyeball. These low-frequency vibrations can cause the eyeball to distort activating the rods and cones in your eyes through pressure rather than light. The soundscape itself is being created by composer and sound designer Dom James. Guests are invited to use their own voice to trigger seemingly supernatural and divine visions through the medium of sound.

BLACKFRIARS - MERGE BANKSIDE Friday 30 September to Saturday 1 October Fri from 2pm; Sat from 4.30pm at Blackfriars Road; free As part of the Blackfriars Stories series of events, Bureau of Silly Ideas (BOSI), which has an international reputation for its gloriously silly interpretations of heritage events, is referencing the Zeppelin attack of 1 October 1916 when Heinrich Mathy's Zeppelin was downed over Potters Bar. The fireball was described by a newspaper reporter who saw it in the distance from Blackfriars Bridge. Led peas-fully by the Peas-Corps (bringing Peas to the World), local people and visitors can get trained in the Peas Corps tactics, follow the Foot Patrol and learn the truth about rumours of air support. Harnessing their unique take on the contradictions of war and its aftermath, BOSI will create a localised spectacle in the Blackfriars Road area, in a free show that will resonate with all members of the community, whether they're residents or workers. While by no means glossing over the horror of the original story (Zeppelins were the first ever machines to drop bombs from the air on civilians) Sightings! Blackfriars will both educate and entertain with a show aiming to replace the fear and destruction of 100 years ago with fun and creativity.
