I’ve started the blog for the Home from home, transnational music and film project.
“Home from Home” is a transnational collaboration involving organisations from four European Union countries (Germany, Italy, Poland and Great Britain).
The project involves working with refugee/asylum seeker musicians in each of the four countries and devising tracks to accompany a film/documentary. The approach is quite flexible and I am recording as much music as possible with the musicians I meet. However alongside the individual pieces from each country there will also be a piece that involves every musician in the project. This is a tricky task and I am trying to make it as organic as possible using the musicians improvising skills and then doing a remix of the audio recorded at the end.
This is very exciting and rewarding for me as I am meeting and learning about musicians from all over the world. Please check the blog if you have time.
Sid this all looks fantastic… what a great project! I’m sure you’ll learn bundles about people/life/the world…
Have you got a long-term plan along these lines?
