Greyworld are creating a new soundwork that draws on the maze's history and the nostalgic idea of furtive conversation and flirtation.
As visitors pass through the many green corridors of the maze, they will be tempted to follow the gentle call of birdsong, the seductive rustling of silk or the tantalising sound of delicate laughter as it disappears around a corner into a dead-end.

Greyworld are a collective of London based artists who are interested in public-activated art, sculpture and interactive installations.
Drawing on its history and on the idea of the maze as a place of furtive conversation and flirtation, Greyworld have created a gentle soundwork that affects the visitors’ experience of their journey from entrance to the centre and back again.

One of Greyworld’s requirements was an economical design that could be mass replicated for each of The Source’s spheres.

For example, the group of artists Greyworld create sound installations which use the generative sound system Koan to make art.
Generative art is the capacity to programme a computer to 'generate' - in the sense of 'setting in motion' - its own drawing or sound.
In the case of Greyworld's installations, the invisible application of technology, underneath floors or hidden in handrails, is still predicated upon a physical presence in the sense that each bodily encounter generates a different sound."
