Alongside the exhibition, The Engine Room 2025 will feature a programme of performances and workshops. A prestigious Penny Lecture will be led by the exhibition curator alongside Morley College sound art lecturers with an essential history of sound art and experimental music.
The Engine Room continues Morley’s long-standing legacy in electronic and experimental music, following in the footsteps of pioneering figures such as Cornelius Cardew, a former music tutor at the college and founder of the Scratch Orchestra.
The organisers extend their gratitude to an esteemed panel of judges, Sarah Nicolls, Mariam Rezaei, John Richards, who carefully reviewed the submissions and selected the works that will be exhibited. Their expertise and dedication have been invaluable in shaping this year’s exhibition.
