EarthSonic Local
Partner Venues:
Thanks to our partners and funders: Arts Council England, Music Venue Trust, Roland, Manchester Metropolitan University and Hull University.
EarthSonic Local is a project partnering with eight grassroots music venues across England, consisting of workshops designed to inspire and up-skill young people in climate change knowledge and music production.
Using local nature sounds to understand and tell the story of climate change and issues affecting loss of biodiversity, participants learn how to record, sample and archive sounds, with the opportunity to create, release and showcase new music.
The project culminates in live showcase events and a new album of selected tracks created during the project, released via the EarthSonic Label.
The project is open to musicians, singers, producers, engineers, activists and lovers of nature of all abilities.
