PJ Harvey is set to record her new album as a gallery installation in London, which will be open to public view throughout the entire process.
The singer's ninth album will be made at Somerset House in London over four weeks, after the recently opened New Wing has been transformed into a recording studio with one-way glass.
Visitors will be able to witness Harvey recording the new album, and depending on what point in its development a particular song has reached, they might see the discussion of a new track, the recording of a particular instrumental, or, if they're lucky, a complete song from the top.
Speaking of the unique experience, Harvey said: "I want Recording In Progress to operate as if we're an exhibition in a gallery. I hope visitors will be able to eperience the flow and energy of the recording process."
Tickets to Recording In Progress cost £15 and are available on the Somerset House website.
