An informal get-together for disabled musicians and hackers/coders/makers. We will introduce the DMLab North West Challenge and we’ll spend some time together sharing ideas and experiences. We’ll have a jam using assistive music technology and traditional musical instruments. This is a chance for people to get to know each other, and explore the possibility of working together.

In Feb 2017 Drake Music is launching a supported period of collaboration and development between disabled musicians* and technologists based in the North West of England, funded by the Foyle Foundation.

At the heart of this venture will be a commissioned ‘innovation challenge’.

We are inviting joint proposals outlining an idea for a brand new musical instrument, tool or innovative piece of music from creative teams made up of one disabled musician and one hacker/maker/coder/technologist.

We will be holding two informal workshops for disabled musicians and technologists to connect, share work and ultimately collaborate.

*Please note: we use the term ‘musician’ in the widest possible sense and mean therefore this opportunity is open to disabled musicians, performers or artists who use music or sound within their work.

Access: Drake Music cannot supply PA support for personal care needs but there is a small budget for more general access support. Please contact: abigailward@drakemusic.org to discuss this in more detail.
