Magical scenes from last Sat's Music from the Peak gig at Gut Level featuring Layla Legard, Gilank & Eleanor Hooper (and her sonified plantourage!) Three different but equally stunning performances of new music inspired by caves, hills, flora, ancient remains, more caves and singing to the land...🧵

Our Rewired free music technology club has reached the end of its six-week run, and here’s a taste of the final session last Tuesday, where the newly fledged audio creators showed their families coding with the BBC micro:bit and DIY electronic instruments inspired by the work of Daphne Oram.

🧄Celery was snapped, garlic bulbs rustled and spaghetti rattled at Shabang in Slaithwaite yesterday... .🍝..but instead of bolognese, we were making soundtracks! 🎬Eddie Dobson led a Foley workshop with a group of young women, who made their own sound effects and created pieces using Garageband.
