Part 1

5pm - 10pm 20th May 2023

Our first event will be led by artist and director of CMR Alice Mahoney and artist, musician and founder of Cling Clack Studio, Stuart Blackmore. They will introduce the film Sisters with Transistors, the remarkable untold story of electronic music’s female pioneers, composers who embraced machines, theremins, synthesizers and feedback machines and helped shape not just electronic music but the contemporary soundscape as we know it.

Part 2

9.30am - 4pm 27th May 2023

This event will be led by Alice Mahoney, Stuart Blackmore and artist and musician Dom Allen, together with a group of 5 artist/ musician facilitators, each leading a 45 min drop-in session. Participants will get a chance to try their hand at different techniques in the style of speed dating drop-in sessions, which covers obscure and unusual techniques from film, sound, science and tech, including 35mm colour slide film manipulation, modular synthesisers, foley art, DJ skills, and coding.

Facilitators will include artist Stuart Robinson, musician Benjamin James Wood, Adam Russel, Foley artist Hannah Bee and DJ Natz.

The day will culminate with lunch prepared by artist and chef, Mollie Goldstrom, who creates interactive meals using ingredients locally sourced, grown or foraged. With an interest in the interpretive and exploratory possibilities of cookery, they have produced culinary events for audiences in a range of non-traditional settings, inviting collaboration and generosity through the preparation and sharing of food. Mollie will be providing fare for our events and will be collaborating with artists working in CMR, riffing on themes for workshops and residencies.
