THEATRE and science come together in a unique production looking at how electricity can make you happy.

The Ethometric Museum is the brainchild of artist, composer and performer Ray Lee who has created a hypnotic and mesmerising soundscape.

Audiences are sent on an immersive journey, mixing theatre with science inside a gallery of electrical curiosities.

Ray expertly manipulates and tunes his collection of obscure objects for audiences to wonder and marvel at.

Visitors will bathe in electro-magnetic waves created and puzzle over the mysteries of the electricity.

Ray is best known for his large scale installation and performance Siren, which won a Herald Angel Award at Edinburgh Fringe 2007.

Ray told the Daily Echo: “You are up close to the machines and it’s almost as if you are inside the performance as it takes place around you.

“I hope that visitors in Bournemouth will share my sense of wonder at these mysterious machines as they whir, hum, spin and create their ethereal sound world.”

His work investigates his obsession with the hidden world of electro-magnetic radiation and how sound can be used as evidence of invisible phenomena.

“How they work is shrouded in mystery. I’ve taken some apart, but I started to feel unwell and decided they were best left alone.

“Their kinetic action is in response to the electro-magnetic environment in which they are activated,” he added.

The performer explores how science and philosophy represent the universe, questioning orthodoxies and their relation to currently fashionable trends.

Ray’s show is part of the Bournemouth Arts by the Sea Festival, at Bournemouth Natural Science Society on Christchurch Road tonight at 6.30pm and 8.30pm and tomorrow at 3pm, 6.30pm and 8pm. Tickets are £5 and booking is essential from artsbournemouth.org.uk
