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.

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.
It was a relaxed session with the group at Minstead Trust in Portsmouth. We continued working with the iPad today, using different instrument sounds. The group enjoyed playing the Glockenspiel, and Wind Chimes.
We had another music workshop today at the Charles Dickens Centre, Lake Road, Portsmouth. The focus of the session today was music technology, and the group was able to start to lay the foundations for their own project ideas.

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.
