‘Adventures in the Electroverse’ is a fully immersive, multi-sensory art and 3D sound installation by renowned Yorkshire electronic music pioneer Martyn Ware in conjunction with Monitor Audio.

Its UK premiere is being held at The Piece Hall in Halifax between 3 October and 4 November after a successful world premiere in New York earlier this year.

Born in Sheffield, Martyn started his music career forming the synth-pop band The Human League in 1977 and later in 1980, Heaven 17, the electro-pop band that took the scene by storm with hits like ‘Temptation; ‘Let Me Go’, ‘Come Live With Me’ and ‘Crushed By The Wheels Of Industry’

Adventures in the Electroverse is the aural and physical manifestation of Martyn’s podcast 'Electronically Yours with Martyn Ware’ in which he connects with artists of music, art, film, comedy, TV and creativity, mostof whom he's met over the course of his stellar career.

Combining Martyn’s love of oral history and 3D soundscape experiences, Adventures In The Electroverse utilises content reimagined from his successful podcast played back through Monitor Audio’s Sound Frame on-wall speakers adorned with portraits of his famous interviewees.
