An exciting, free music tech project for young female music-makers (aged 13-18).

Explore the possibilities of sound, experiment with cutting-edge music technology and perform in a live showcase as part of the Great Exhibition of the North. This is a great opportunity if you’re looking to make music in new and innovative ways.

Led by an all-female team of amazing digital and sound artists from across the North of England (Afrodeutsche, Caro C, Mandy Wigby, Vicky Clarke) you will:

• Spend four days (Mon 20 – Thu 23 Aug) experimenting and creating new music using found sounds to create a unique ‘sound experience’
• Collaborate with other young musicians from the North East
• Showcase your work to a live audience at Sage Gateshead on Friday 24 August – as part of The Hexagon Experiment*

To take part you should be:

• Female, or identity as female
• Aged 13-18
• From or based in the North East – Newcastle, Gateshead and the surrounding areas
• Available between Mon 20 – Fri 24 Aug

Sign up by Friday 17 August, midday
