Our experimental programme for artists to develop new creative offers. In 2020, we commissioned 5 small projects across Kent and Sussex to explore different uses of sound.

Persephone's Dream: 3D Fragments

Fat Lady Opera trialled a 3D binaural sound piece for a new digital opera, that tells the story of a civilisation in hibernation. 

Sunken Silence

Dizzy O'Dare tested an outdoor location-based experience using Echoes, where soundscapes and spoken word accompany the listener on a trail past the boat graveyard on the Hoo Peninsula.

Postcards from Medway

Scenographer Alison Neighbour used voicemail and postcards to collect stories as part of Beacons, an upcoming site performance in Folkestone featuring composer Emily Peasgood.

Listening Between:
​Here & There

Sound artist Jane Pitt tested a geolocation app with an AR soundtrack at a specific Medway location that is squeezed between river and town, and unique for its unexpected Skylark song.

The Holey Stone

Storyteller Kevin Graal and MSL Discover prototyped an interactive multi-choice audiovisual story for children, using the H5P web platform.
