Sonic Dreams
One of the most remarkable experiments in this year’s Edinburgh International Science Festival is Sonic Dreams - a ground breaking marriage between science and art. Cryptic is curating the sound and advising on the overall artist content for Sonic Dreams with ARUP Acoustics.
Relax in an extraordinary 'sound lab' and, as the soundscapes wrap around you, embark on a fantastical journey to the heart of natural worlds, foreign cities and fabulous performances. A revolutionary 3D sound system will transport you in a way that you will have not experienced before. Not to be missed!
This sound installation is based on a new, super-realistic 3D sound system called iXDlab, created by engineering firm ARUP and Glasgow School of Arts. For updates on the programme visit www.sciencefestival.co.uk
When: 3 – 17th April 2010, 10am – 8pm daily
Where: St Andrew Square, Edinburgh
£2.00, performances last around 20 minutes. For all ages.

Looking forward to 2010
We're winding up the office for Christmas (with a blizzard of Glasgow snow outside). Merry Christmas to all, and here's to a Crypic new year: with Tony Mills' "WATCH iT!" opening Cryptic Nights on February 4th, and our collaboration SEVEN with the Scottish Ensemble and Tenebrae in April, there will be plenty to kick things off with.
Meantime, wrap up and think warm thoughts

Competition Winners
The winners of our audience feedback competition have been picked. Those of you who kindly filled out audience feedback forms at the Confined Human Condition performances in Glasgow and Edinburgh had your names put into a hat, and here's who was picked out:
Glasgow
The 1st prize goes to Keira Sinclair, who wins a pair of tickets to Crytic Nights along with a dinner for two from the special Cryptic Nights menu in the CCA café bar.
2nd prize goes to Kerry Stirling, who also wins a pair of tickets to a Cryptic Nights event of her choice.
Edinburgh
Greg Sinclair (no relation to Keira we're assuming!) lives a little far away from the CCA, so instead he has won a £15 voucher for Peckham's.
Thanks again for all the wonderful feedback about Confined Human Condition .
The next Cryptic Nights is on Thursday 5th November at 20.00 in CCA Glasgow, and features a programmed of Horror Shorts from BBC Film Network, well suited to this murky season.
