soundGENERATION

This short video piece is an example 'output' file for a music project called soundGENERATION which is happening all over Lincolnshire until March 2012. The project is working with groups of all ages from under 5 to over 50. Each group is led by a soundLINCS Music Facilitator and at least 60 groups will be involved. Every group will create an original musical phrase and, if they agree, video record themselves playing/singing it. The groups will follow the same simple musical rules to create their phrase. All the phrases will be uploaded to an internet site where they can be mixed together by playful and interested visitors including, of course, the creators! Please visit www.soundlincs.org for more information about soundGENERATION and to learn more about the company.
