Music Therapy session 3 with  Music Therapist Clare Hunt and student  Francesca. I want to see what our voices would do together and get some emotions out with a few instruments that would feel floaty. We seemed to spontaneously be drawn to a piano, rainstick, violin and our voices.

Breathy track improvisation with Music Therapist Clare Hunt. 
Kinda rambling and helped to regulate after a hard morning of disappointment.  Some nice harmonies I'd like to work with and develop. Thanks to Clare and student helper Francesca for allowing me to record this on my iphone. Usually sessions are not recorded.

Breathy  23 - 01 - 23

Metal Bell and accompanying sounds. Would like to do more with just the sound of the tube. It sounds like a ships bell and resonates.

Noisy metal bell thing and other percussion.

Clare & Karen and guitar voice harmonies

Atari and cubase stuff from many moons ago.

Some examples  of audio doodles, live recordings, mash ups and  original material working with local communities. Process above production. Promoting, health, well-being and experimentation. 
I recently recorded sessions of my own grief journey with  sound therapist  Clare Hunt. I  hope to use these as a starting point after much sadness and silence.  
Community groups I have worked  include young people from Roma Community, Throckley Elders, dementia friendly groups  and  young children. I enjoy creating low fi  live recordings. The central  Choir recordings were created with a women's group as part of the Digital Makings artists residency at Gateshead Council. The kit I use is "pop up" and a real mix of lo- fi and hi- fi.  Sessions are lighthearted, promote health and well being are fun and are a bit experimental with  sketchy recordings outcomes. "Respect the Streets" and "Our world  " was written with young people for the ROMA community and recorded a CHAT and North Benwell Youth Project. The production in these songs was a bit more polished.  The young people wrote, recorded original material in LOGIC. They also created visuals and compiled a video. The videos  promote messages on recycling and community pride. The young people continue to perform and spread message about recycling.
