Spaces
Spaces makes the creation, recording and performance of ambient, experimental and electronic music available to young people, schools and the wider community.
Spaces creates soundscapes for spaces, galleries, installations as well as for online listening.
Spaces provides an opportunity for participants to develop their visions, explore new sounds, and express themselves artistically.
Spaces is about mood, texture, atmospherics, composition and mindfulness. It isn’t about learning scales or being scared to play the wrong note.
Spaces brings together individuals or groups as contributors, it fosters connections and promotes a sense of belonging. These links not only enrich the experience of the project but also create opportunities for networking, mutual support and community involvement.
Spaces tracks will be released on all major streaming services under a Creative Commons BY-NC-ND Licence.
Spaces will be entirely a non-profit project.
Water and Steel
We initially experimented with the Spaces concept and worked with a small group of students with a wide range of ages and backgrounds. Using software instruments alongside fully analogue synthesisers, gradual layers of sound were built up with an underlying theme of water.
Working with our partners at the Alnwick Garden we made a student video to accompany the music based around the Alnwick water sculptures.
