Composed by Martyn Ware in collaboration with artistic director David Bickerstaff, Tales from the Bridge was a mesmerizing soundscape covering the entire length of the Millennium Bridge across London’s River Thames. It featured an hour-long looping immersive ambient electronic musical composition merged with an engaging spoken narrative written by the poet Mario Petrucci and voiced by Mia Austen and Steven Alexander, and the stunning Water Night by Eric Whitacre.

The 3D soundscape was commissioned as part of the Mayor of London’s programme of free events to celebrate the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
