“The inspirations for the piece includes a holiday we had in Lisbon (with its wonderful tiles), the sticky feet of Geckos and early video games, in particular Pacman.
“The geckos follow a trail of tiles drawn by visitors on a tablet. They can be fed colourful food each with a different musical note and, when they rest, they sing a song based on the food they’ve eaten. The musical sounds include flute, synth and steel pans. When the geckos sing together you have a gecko jam.”
