Expo Leeds 09. Expo is the UK’s largest weekend of sound art and experimental music and includes work by artists of international standing; Christina Kubisch, Paul Rooney, Lee Patterson, Chris Watson, Yannick Dauby and Mira Calix. The festival includes live performances, public events, workshops and a wiki-based, self-organising conference, to spark ideas about sound art and its relation to place and society.

Expo Leeds unveiled major new commissions including:

Nick Rothwell & Lewis Sykes will create PEAL: A Virtual Bell Tower, an interactive multimedia commission for the Arena space at the Grade II listed Leeds City Museum, re-opened in 2008. Taking bell sounds from Leeds churches, PEAL invites audiences to play with the traditions of change ringing.
