VIRTUAL BAND

Description: Professional musicians record individual music parts on a variety of instruments and mix it together into a full composition. Anyone with a musical instrument can then request a version of the song with their instrument missing from the mix - allowing them to add their own improvised version in.

The same will happen for each instrument in the mix, with each instrument being replaced with a new version; creating an entirely new catalogue of songs. A virtual band comprised of people who have never even met!

Join one of our virtual bands HERE.

Stories of bath

Description: Social isolation will have hit some of us harder than others. Our ‘Stories of Bath’ series is a chance for people to tell their stories in a creative format. Schedule a brief phone call with Paul Midgley (Director and Workshop Facilitator at Twin Wave CIC) to talk about your experiences or what Carnival means to you.

We'll take snippets from your conversations and mix them into a music track - our next 'community mix'.

These ‘stems’ will be made available online, for local producers and DJs to use in their own compositions and share back with the community. This activity is particularly suitable for vulnerable adults, those already at risk of social isolation and the elderly.

*Paul is DBS checked and has 25 years experience working in the community.
