Sounds Alive in Maindee Library
Project leader Rohan Kane Bishop says that have been a success with. ...new attendees each week bringing new ideas and enthuasiasm to the table." The group has a soundcloud page, which is used to upload content and circulate ideas, such as last week's session which can be heard below:
Taking samples and making new music
Sesssion leaders Rohan and Joe have developed a unique recording process in which participants can explore various sound creation techniques while learning how to manipulate those sounds with ease.
A great song was used as a source for samples within the last session was "Pardesiyon Se Pooch Pooch" from the film Kartavya by Sanjay Kapoor & Juhi Chawla
The group is now looking at developing their ideas into a collection of soundscapes recorded onto Sound Cloud. In terms of how creative Rohan and Joe would like to be, here's some inspiration from a piece of music called 'Timber' - made from six amplified wooden 2-by-4s!
Feel free to come along to the Wednesday evening sessions at Maindee Library
