This season, the galleries in the National Gallery's Sainsbury Wing will be offering a feast for the ears as well as the eye as the likes of musician/producer Jamie XX, Turner Prize winner Susan Philipsz and Oscar-winning film composer Gabriel Yared curate one-off soundtracks to paintings from the collection. At the Soundscapes exhibition (Wed Jul 8–Sun Sep 6) each painting and its unique accompanying audio will be displayed in special soundproofed rooms.
