One of the world’s leading specialist sound and music titles has been unveiled as media partner for the Exhibition Road Cultural Group’s headline 2012 project.
The Wire - which celebrates its 30th anniversary in London’s Olympic and Paralympic year – is an independent, award-winning media organisation specialising in editorial coverage of alternative and underground sound and music. It is joining forces with ERCG to support and promote Supersonix, an international celebration of the art and science of sound that runs from January to June 2012.
Editorial support will range from listings of Supersonix events to editorial features on artists in residence, the Supersonix conference (21-23 June) and Exhibition Road Music Day on 23 June.

‘Right now, it feels like the social and cultural sphere is witnessing a mass convergence, a great coming together of philosophies and practice born at the outer reaches of sound, science, natural history and visual art,’ observed Tony Herrington, The Wire‘s publisher and editor in chief.
‘Supersonix feels like a timely response to this great pile-up of social and cultural activity, and a rare opportunity to experience and think about some of its possible implications for the audioworld. The Wire is pleased to be associated with such an ambitious and visionary event.’
‘For 30 years, The Wire has pioneered, championed and celebrated the best and cutting-edge in sound and the sonic arts,’ said Paul Cutts, chief executive of ERCG. ‘I can’t think of a more fitting print media partner and am delighted to have The Wire‘s backing for what is our most ambitious project to date.’
