Biography
Composer and cross-disciplinary artist Oliver Beer creates sculptures, installations, videos, and immersive live
performances that reveal the hidden properties and musicality of objects and spaces. Since 2007 he has been
working on The Resonance Project, exploring the acoustic phenomenon of resonance, a sound wave generated by
a material or physiological vibration that in its turn produces an oscillation. The project has developed in response
to the various sites involved,
from the sewers of London to the escalator tubes of the Centre Pompidou, but it always
involves the voice, the body and the architecture, and a score composed to reveal the natural frequency of the site.
