In January I started work with a community arts project on the Barne Barton housing estate in Plymouth. The project, called BBRoots, is about looking at what is unique about the area, capturing it, celebrating it and using it to raise aspirations for the estate. My part of the project involves giving people the opportunity to listen to, record, and talk about Kinterbury Creek - a green space within the community that leads down to the Tamar Estuary. So far we have held a couple of informal Saturday morning sessions and a drop in event at the local community centre.
Some of the sounds collected so far can be heard here:

Arts Wave Devon sound art drop in day
Arts Wave Devon is an arts project supporting people to discover and engage with their own creativity and improve their wellbeing. The project works with communities to design a varied programme of opportunities, with a particular focus towards supporting groups working with children and young people, older people and people with disabilities.
On 1st of Feb I ran a sound art "drop-in" day for Arts Wave Devon to give people the opportunity to work with a variety of recording equipment and microphones to improvise and record with a variety of objects. This was inspired by my own work recording improvisations with natural materials and recent collaborations with American sound artist Jeph Jerman.
