Pleasure Garden is a listening garden created by renowned Australian musician Genevieve Lacey. Thirty audio interventions were sited across the Walled Garden, transforming the garden into a place of musical play as a visitor moves through.
The soundtrack is inspired by the story and music of the 17th-century blind Dutch musician, Jacob van Eyck, including excerpts from his composition with newly-composed music by Genevieve, with sounds captured from Australia, improvised melodies, cicadas and the birds that live at Harewood.
