Students and graduates contribute to unique music and sound project
14th March 2024
Students and graduates have contributed to a unique music and sound project to be showcased in Cheltenham, led by Gloucestershire composer and performer Chris Cundy in collaboration with University of Gloucestershire.
A Sound Map of the Roman Baths is a creative partnership led by Chris Cundy that combines the sounds of geo-thermal hot springs and the extraordinary history of the UNESCO world heritage site in the city of the Bath with work by Gloucestershire poet Adam Horovitz.
Sound and Music Production students gained skills and knowledge in various capacities working with Chris and some of the UK’s foremost contemporary classical and free improvisation musicians during studio sessions at the University’s purpose-built recording facilities and site installations at the Roman Baths.
University graduate and filmmaker Dominyka Vinčaitė (MA Illustration) has documented a series of short films about the project, ahead of a free exhibition at the University’s Hardwick Campus (15 April to 10 May) and a five-part season of programmes on Resonance FM throughout April.
