For an extended COOS session, Lewes based visual and sound artist Iain Paxon will lead a sound making workshop to explore exciting ways of coaxing interesting and unusual sounds from familiar instruments and objects such as prepared piano, bicycle, drums and household percussion. These will be arranged into a composition which, following the workshop, will be performed to a short film to a reconvened COOS audience.
Iain Paxon has made over 20 albums with the lo-key am dram experimental pop group Hamilton Yarns as well as numerous solo projects, such as his bicycle-based album Inside the Wheel. He has a background in youth work and extensive experience overseeing workshops with children. He’s interest is in the use of story-telling, visual narrative and free improvisation.
The workshop is for young people ideally aged 12 – 18, it will run from 10am – 12pm, with a live soundtrack performance at around 12.30 || Spaces limited!
From 12- 2pm the bar will be open and people can come and hear a performance of the music that has been created during the morning workshop✨
