"Perpetual Canon" by Cornelia Parker is made up of 60 flattened instruments once belonging to a brass band. The work is installed in the Sunley Gallery which overlooks the North Sea. The collection of compressed trumpets, cornets, tubas and other instruments are suspended from the ceiling by fine wires. Cornelia Parker says: ‘the band may be winded, but they’re not down and out: they’re still marching.’ A canon is a piece of music where a melody is played and imitated after a short delay.
