In Clean Air We Fly: Kaffe Matthews

Kaffe Matthew's event 'in clean air we fly' was the inaugural Invisible Dust event, showcased on the 6th December 2009 in Gillett Square, Dalston, London. To make 'in clean air we fly', Matthews collaborated with 40 children from Shacklewell and Colvestone primary schools in Dalston to explore the possibilities of city transport without pollution and its related health and environmental effects.

Together they investigated the local streets, identifying the air pollution hotspots and mapping the results at both street and sky levels to build a musical score from the local airspace. The children recorded neighbourhood street sounds, played instruments and wrote songs also exploring the tones of the ancient Solfeggio series which Matthews has combined to create one shifting multilayered audio work.
