Electro-acoustic musical machinery powered by the River Tyne
~Flow is a tidemill - a floating building on the River Tyne that generates its own power using a tidal waterwheel. The onboard instruments respond to the constantly changing environment of the river, generating sound and data.
Enjoy a rare opportunity to experience ~Flow late at night. Come and find out more about the artwork and try your hand at playing the onboard instruments on tours led by their creators, Owl Project.
All of the artist led tours for The Late Shows are now fully booked.
The millhouse is home to Owl Project’s beautiful, hand crafted, electro-acoustic musical machinery. There are three inter- connected sonic instruments which mix traditional craft and digital innovation.
