Electric Hotel was a lonely, bizarre, and beautiful outdoor spectacle; a uniquely designed, fly-by-night hotel brought to vivid life through dance and sound.

Sitting on the outside looking in, the audience snatched glimpses of the do-not-disturb lives unfolding behind the floor to ceiling windows.

Wearing headphones to eavesdrop on the internal spaces of the building they watched the residents in their private rooms: natural habits, unnatural fantasies, and wildly eccentric housekeeping.

You can now purchase the soundtrack to Electric Hotel on iTunes, and listen again to Ben and Max Ringham’s beautiful and haunting score.
