Meet the band

After a few months of thinking outside of many boxes the band might look something like this.

Music fron Things is changing

November 2024 update.

I am very pleased to announce that many of the interactive instruments have now been rehomed at

Five Acre Wood School in Maidstone.

This is an amazing facility that I know will make the best use of the instruments.

This Phase of the Project has come to an end.

A new phase will start in January 2025.

Music from Thins will still exist but in a new Phase of development.

I will take part in collaborations and  joint ventures.

All subject to funding of course!

Some of the new ventures will be Art installations and Performance events.

I hope to be working with Artists/Sculptors, story tellers and many other people.

Instruments will still be developed in 2025 as time permits.

I will still Build physical Instruments and many of the existing Instrument will be sampled and the sampled instruments made available as Virtual Instruments in Decent sampler format. (Decent sampler will work with any digital audio workstation or as a stand alone program, but best yet its free!)

Decent Sampler Plugin [FREE] – decent|SAMPLES (decentsamples.com)

Workshops will still be possible If a source of funding is available

QUESTIONS?

Whether you’re curious about the project or building the instruments, I am here to answer any questions and look forward to talking with you very soon.

This project is part funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

“Make life better with music Fill a school with music and it becomes better.
Fill an education with music and it becomes better. Fill a life with music and it becomes better.
Fill a community with music and it becomes better. If you want to make something better, put music right at the heart of it..”
