Electronic music composer Anna Meredith is calling for applications from new female artists to join her on a four day Brighter Sound residency in Manchester.
Running 18-21 July, Anna is looking for artists to collaborate and create new work inspired by the Wonder Materials: Graphene and Beyond exhibition at the city’s Museum of Science and Industry.
This will culminate with a live performance of the new work as part of the programme for Manchester’s Science in the City Festival.
Commenting, Anna said: ‘I’m so excited to be leading Brighter Sound’s summer residency in partnership with the Museum of Science and Industry - this fascinating museum is going to be a brilliant starting point for new musical and visual work and I can’t wait to see what we all come up with!
‘I’ll be bringing in my long-term collaborators, workshop-leader and guitarist Jack Ross and my sister, visual artist Eleanor Meredith, with whom I’ve worked on several successful cross-media projects over the years. We’re all passionate about supporting young female creators, and collaborating on new work in such an inspiring setting will be a great place to work together, exploring both collaborative large group pieces and giving space to develop individual ideas.’
Anna is a composer, producer and performer of both acoustic and electronic music. Her debut album Varmints was released earlier in the year via Moshi Moshi/PIAS. Anna has also written Connect It for the BBC’s award winning Ten Pieces scheme. This involved half of all UK primary school children working on the piece as well as Anna leading broadcasts, workshops and performances including at Radio 2’s Proms in the Park.
All female musicians (composers, performers, producers etc.) and multi-disciplinary artists aged 16-25 are invited to apply. The deadline for submissions Friday 1 July.
