Anyone know of any experimental music / live art Conservertoires that are informal (so probably not actually conservertoires) - e.g. no degree programmes, perhaps more DIY/community led. Can be currently running, or something that shut down decades ago. #ExperimentalMusic #LiveArt #NoiseMusic

@mxtthxw interested in this conversation but probably can’t help. My org Moogie Wonderland is working with Immersive Business at Falmouth University to consult with us on setting up an immersive audio space using Dolby Atmos ideally for live shows and to host our Cornwall Youth Noise Orchestra. We’re putting in a funding application for it soon. Also meeting with Allen & Heath tomorrow about it too. Interested in the whole topic really as we’re at fairly early stages of it.

Recorded a track for this week's #DisquietJunto in a rush, and I think it turned out all the better for not thinking about it too hard!

Twitter will be our generation’s Woolworth’s

Boomers look back fondly in the place they stole penny sweets and bought 7inch singles for a tuppence

We’ll feel the same warmth for the insurrection and that day when the revelation about David Cameron and the 🐖 hit the headlines
