CoDI Pulse: Voice and Percussion

Calling music-creators of any genre for this creative development opportunity to compose for voice with percussion. 

This artist development pathway offers five Wales-based music-creators the opportunity to explore and develop creative approaches to composing for voice and percussion (a combination of tuned and untuned instruments), through a series of workshops with vocalist Emily Thorner, percussionist Julian Warburton, and composer-mentor Claire Victoria Roberts. 

Through studio sessions, mentoring, and collaboration with the performers, the selected artists will explore experimental approaches to composing for, creating ambitious new work that reflects and expands on their own musical language and creative practice. 

We welcome applications from artists working in Welsh or English, and from every musical genre. This pathway involves creating performance materials for the performers, and applications are welcomed from music-creators who use standard notation, as well as those whose practice involves graphic, visual, experimental or other non-classical approaches to communicating musical ideas, including work rooted in oral traditions and improvisation.

If you feel your music and creative practice would benefit from this opportunity to develop new work within a supportive cohort of artists, we’d love to hear from you.
