Music Tech Performance Project

,

This BLOG follows a Live Music Performance Project to a Silent Film by BTEC ND Music Technology students at Strode College, Somerset, UK.

Work has started on an exciting music performance project where we will use music technology kit like laptops, music software, effects units, electric drum kit, DJ decks and samplers to play live to a silent film. The film is a classic black and white called "Man With A Movie Camera" and will be shown at Strode Theatre on Wednesday 10th of June. There are a number of BTEC ND Music Technology students involved in creating this live soundtrack as well as some guest jazz and classical musicians that will join us later in the project.

The students will be experimenting with the technology, collecting samples jamming, improvising, arranging and composing music over the coming months in preparation for the one hour performance.
Here is who is involved in the project...
