The “Re-Birth” Project Audio creation and recording September-October 2018

We were asked by Artist Clarke Reynolds to create the soundtrack for use during his residency within Aspex Gallery in Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth. We created the Soundscape, for his “Re-Birth” Project.

Included is a picture of David handing the recording to Clarke at the Aspex Gallery. They have the Exhibition behind them, which has different colour fabrics on the floor, including red and orange, representing different parts of the Exhibition.

The purpose of the Exhibition is to show the public that a visually impaired artist can be creative, and to educate through using sound within art.

Clarke’s residency begins on 26th October until 25th November 2018. The Gallery is open 11am-4pm, Wednesday-Sunday. People are welcome to come and experience this project for themselves.

Global Music Visions C.I.C. Music Workshop Taster Session 29th September 2018

We had the second of our two music workshops at the Charles Dickens Centre, Lake Road, Portsmouth. In the session some participants continued their introduction to music technology and recording, by exploring more of the software, for others this was new. They also had support with playing the acoustic guitars. The group worked together to setup the microphones, to play and to record/engineer a piece of music, which they had composed.

Included is a picture of the group of five discussing ideas for recording their piece of music. One participant is sitting behind a MIDI keyboard, whilst two others are sitting behind a microphone each playing acoustic guitars. Two other people are standing by each microphone, ready to change the position of the microphone if necessary.

The purpose of the Exhibition is to encourage visually impaired people to experience art using taste, touch, smell, and sound senses, as triggers for producing their own art work. It is also hoped that people with vision will also explore Clarke’s artwork.

Clarke’s residency begins on 23rd April until 20th May 2018. People are welcome to come and join Clarke working on his art exhibits, and to produce something themselves.

From 20th – 27th May, between 11am to 4pm there will be a solo exhibition of the work produced.
