How Does It Work?
As usual we will be working Mon-Fri throughout August, but this years project will be split into 2 phases:
The Creation Period: August 5th - August 16th
In this phase we will collaborate and create new music across the whole 10 days.
Flexible Studio Sessions: August 19th - August 30th
In this phase we will be offering groups and individuals the opportunity to get in the studio and record or refine music made in the creation period. You will be able to book studio sessions based on your individual availability and recording requirements.
This project is a FREE opportunity and no previous experience is required.
The programme if specifically for people aged 16-25, but we can accommodate those aged 26-30 who identify themselves as d/deaf, disabled, neurodivergent or facing long term illness that impacts daily living.
COL are working to tackle underrepresentation and barriers to music and particularly encourage all women and non-binary people of all backgrounds and experiences to apply. Our organisation operates a fully inclusive, diversity-driven policy to ensure that participants are given equal opportunities throughout all stages of the project, including the application process.
