The Conductor translates live lightning strikes from around the world into a graphic score for seven percussion instruments.

The project was conceived and developed by the artist Mishka Henner between 2023 and 2024 with a team of musicians, sound artists and acoustics engineers during an artist's residency at Energy House 2.0 at the University of Salford.

The Conductor was first performed at the University of Salford’s Acoustic Laboratories during the Sounds From the Other City Festival on 5 May 2024.
