It’s Christmas Eve, and there is one final door to open on the University’s Advent Term Calendar: another audience recording of installation music. Lydian Bells was part of the "Treat Yourself: Health consumers in a medical age" exhibition at the Science Museum, London, which ran from 26 May to 9 November 2003 (having originally been scheduled to run until 14 September).
