I’m pleased to announce that I’ve been granted a Feeney Fellowship to support with ‘on the ground’ research and development that will feed into the planning of for-Wards city-wide venture.
The Feeney fellowship bursary will provide invaluable support to my artistic development and compositional career via mentoring sessions with industry specialists who capture field recordings to the highest standards and, use them in innovative ways. The learning and artistic development gained from this experience will impact upon my role as lead artist/composer and artistic director.
The knowledge and skills gained will impact on the learning and development of the artistic team of composers/sound artists/musicians who also work on for-Wards project, via sharing sessions I will facilitate in partnership with key field recording mentoring figures. This will ensure the pieces written for the project are to the highest standards.
I’ll be spending the next 3-4 months with field recording specialists and composers who use found material in curious ways. I’ll keep reporting back!!
