Performances on launch night, 26 September:

National Grid

Jimi Hendrix claimed that his earliest childhood memory was of a thunderstorm. Disinformation's National Grid is a sub-bass installation sourced either from the ambient VLF field radiated by electricity pylons and mains circuits, or, more recently, directly from the output cables of mains transformers. National Grid offers live physical evidence of environmental electromagnetic pollution, a demonstration of the intrinsic musical properties of alternating current, beat-frequency effects and the architectural acoustics of its own exhibition space.
