Core: Electronic Music Workshops

AS PART OF FLAMM BY CREATIVE KERNOW

Make dance music for the mix at Abigail Reynolds’ Core in a quarry on the edge of Redruth.

Core is an invitation to dance to the rhythms and sounds of a quarry which has been drilled with hundreds of deep holes. The quarry was a test site for the drills used to set dynamite deep inside the stone, but has been silent for decades. The lost rhythm of the percussive drills will be replaced by loud electronic beats created entirely from recordings made in the quarry. For Core, sounds from the quarry will mixed by an impressive list of music producers, solo, in collaboration, and through workshops.

The workshops are for all levels, from curious young people and beginners who want to learn how to mix a dance track, through to experienced music producers. Tracks made in these sessions will be included in the final mix performed in the quarry on October 21st. Three beginners workshops for up to 12 people will be led by Stuart Blackmore and Toby Sadgrove. The workshops are free to attend, with a suggested donation of £10.

For Music Producers

Core is looking for dance tracks, made from sound samples recorded in the quarry. On Sunday 1st October 4-7pm, there will also be a share session for music producers led by Martin Pease. This is a masterclass for music producers who have already downloaded the quarry recordings and made a start with their own kit. If you work with music/sound and are interested in creating a track for Core and attend the masterclass. Email coresubmissions2023@gmail.com for information and a link.

 

CORE is being presented as part of a multi-layered programme of exhibitions and events. Supported by Art Night, Counterpoints Arts, Creative Kernow, Cultivator, Good Growth, Levelling Up, Shared Prosperity Fund and Cornwall Council. Part of the Platforma festival 2023, produced by Counterpoints Arts and partners across the South West of England.
