Visible Artist Award

COMPOSER | SOUND DESIGNER | VOCAL EDITOR

I was asked to create a series of short podcasts with a focus on abstract music and sound to reflect the art created in connection to the award.

See more about the project here.

All My Life I Will Carry You

The below track ‘All My Life I Will Carry You’ aims to capture the feeling of the artwork on the right created by Lakwena. In the final version the music underscores the voices from Accumulate and the Art School for the Homeless. It gradually builds to reach a euphoric finish where they repeat the words of the artwork to a great emotional effect.

THE COLOUR OF WORDS

The art on the right is a section of a mural created by David Shillinglaw that is inspired by workshops with the creative writing group at HMP Grendon. The workshops aim to provide an opportunity for the men to tell part of their story through Haiku and poetry writing.

The music below underscores David walking us through his creative process and the inspiration that the poems provided him with.

The Visible Artist Competition Podcast

The music on the right underscores the judges of the competition explaining what the award is all about and how they came to a decision.

The brief was to create something very ambient, abstract and textural that slowly develops throughout.
