Ping! is a collaboration between the Coull String Quartet, composer Joe Cutler, artist Tom Dale, Fusion Table Tennis Club, English Table Tennis Association, Ping London, Warwick Arts Centre and Birmingham Conservatoire. Table tennis is a sport which has strong and distinct sonic qualities and top players can create tightly controlled rhythms in their practice drills. Ping! will explore this, creating intricate cross-rhythms between table tennis players, string quartet and soundtrack exploiting sudden changes of speed and character whilst exploiting areas of commonality. Two versions will be made, one with live table tennis players and the other featuring the table tennis players on film. This makes Ping! performable in a variety of different situations, from concert hall to sport arena.
