"Using my ears and some imagination, I specialise in creating 3 dimensional audio visual experiences. As well as to raise consciousness and to entertain, I want my work to encourage communication, discussion and debate around culture, technology, art and science," says Marco Perry, London-based sound artist, designer and composer.
Mighty Monks have created an Immersive Transformative Audio Visual artwork which allows you to be fully inside it. Observing from within, the visitor becomes the first and third person simultaneously as the work evolves, making connections between each other in this brave new world. Realising the importance of the self within the whole, allowing visitors to resonate beyond ego.
Resonance Part One: Soul Trees
The souls of the "dearly departed,” our loved ones. Our friends & family are very much alive in spirit. Using a unifying "wave length" they speak to us individually and collectively, communicating with timeless wisdom. Tuning in to this unifying frequency, with detachment and clarity, the souls are shown to us as trees.
Resonance Part Two: Disruptive Harmony
Paths of our individual journeys are our thoughts gathered until we reach a point where we find the bridge between thought, emotion, and the reality of the world we inhabit. We come back safely from this meditation taking new insight forward with us in our daily lives.
Resonance Part Three: The Conflict Of Peace
A punk ballet. Somewhat discordant at times but looking for harmony. How do we resolve this conflict ? Observing our reactions to religions and and those of others, tuning the correct frequency for universal communication.
Resonance Part Four: C O M A
Based on the true story of one mans journey into mind and soul whilst the body is collapsed on life support systems. To accept your breath is to accept your life. He allows this to happen and now has choices. He chooses the mission, breaking karmic wheels of accumulated pain & suffering, lifting veils of truth, finding beauty and Love.

Following a successful collaboration with Bjork on her highly acclaimed ‘Bjork Digital’ immersive AV world tour, pioneering immersive Sound Artist Marco Perry returns to Somerset House with new work as one of the featured Special Projects.
Taking his cues from the exhibition theme of Resonance, Perry has created an Immersive 3D audio visual experience presented in Four transformative audio (R) works composed by Marco Perry and David Clayton “The Mighty Monks.”
“It’s an honour to be part of this first London exhibition since lockdown. This elegant functional space is so special, if these old stone walls could speak! oh the stories they could tell.”
“The theme of this Biennale is resonance. We talk about resonating meaning a physical vibration. We also understand a resonance of thought, an empathy, a shared experience.. a desire for a better world for example. I’ve created 3-dimensional sound stories incorporating specific healing frequencies to which our bodies resonate so you actually feel it. You become physically part of the experience.”
“I use combinations of sound treatments from multiple loudspeakers to create new sounds in the 3D listening space to immerse us in a moving textured sonic canvas without intrusive hardware or headphones. Like the different textures in a forest that can be enjoyed from different perspectives there’s no ‘right’ way to view it, you need to discover with your ears. To fully experience the worlds I’ve created I encourage people to move around, explore the sound.”
