Partial Facsimile is a Brighton based surround-sound and visual-art collective specialising in research based projects, film soundtracks and site-specific performances. They perform and install all their pieces in 5.1-surround sound and aim to help this merged format to become commonly experienced by a wider audience.
Since 2013 they have been engaged in making works that were accessible to a wide demographic, and performed in spaces not necessarily designed for art events. Examples of this include performances in a Danish WWII bunker, an Air-Raid Shelter in Brighton and The Grand Magazine at Newhaven Fort.
Each new project involves different members of the collective. Visual art may come in the form of bespoke independent films; live drawing or painting; digital and analogue projection. Musical work may be fully or semi improvised, for soundscape work, or specifically composed for each project. Lyrical content is informed by research into chosen topics that they wish to discuss in the work.
