Sonic Bed_Scotland is the fifth in Matthews worldwide Bed series, made in Stirling with local artisans and materials using the original Sonic Bed_London design. Commissioned by Le Weekend Festival supported by PRSF foundation, it was launched on 25.5.07 at the Tolbooth Scotland.
The collaborative nature of the making of this 5th Bed was extended through the commissioning of artist Mandy McIntosh to design and make its cushions and covers as well as Matthews sonic explorations with pipers Chris Gibb (border and highland pipes) and Jarlath Henderson(uillean pipes) to compose its score.
