The Borderline Listening Post is a public sound installation in a corner of Lyttelton’s Civic Square, featuring works contributed by local, national and international sonic artists. Some have responded directly to the space, while others have been inspired from afar to create works that range from soundscapes using the local environment as their source to electronic pieces and electroacoustic compositions. It will be playing 24 hours from June 20th onwards.
