Professor Lee’s Ethometric Museum

Just got back from Professor Ray Lee’s Ethometric Museum which was the most wonderfully mad and ambient tripped out and totally bliss experience.

I can’t stop thinking about it. Only bad thing is it only goes on for 45mins. You could be in there for hours listening the sounds. Like the ghosts of the old BBC workshop library unleashed.

If you get the chance to see to this surreal exhibition it’s very recommended.
Part of Bournemouth Arts By The Sea Festival.

Have you ever wondered how electricity could make you feel happy?

Anyone been to their bigger events?

This video shows edited highlights from a past show.
If your likely to go to it anytime soon I would recommend not watching it as it would be better off going in blind.
But if your not likely to see it soon then check the video.
