PROJECT OVERVIEW

This is a project which focuses on people with learning difficulties and adults with little or no, I.T and music skills to participate fully in recording their own progress, experiences and feelings through the use of I.T and music technology and easy to use multimedia music software and hardware.

Students will be working with a professional music producer who has been in the music industry for over 20 years. This will help develop student skills previously unavailable to disadvantaged people, with a fully trained professional.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

To provide an innovative music project for people with learning difficulties to have access to this type of technology, previously unavailable to them thus giving them the chance to express their feelings through music.

To provide an electronic music environment that encourages expression, creativity, self worth and confidence. This will reinforce basic skills training, I.T skills, basic music theory, timing and the fundamentals of sound and hearing and how we perceive them.

To create a music learning revolution, widening the participation of the students and enabling them to create their own work on a compact disc master copy for them to keep and listen to at home. Also the creation of a digital portfolio with samples of work and sounds. 

This type of technology has only previously been available to professionals for example, up & coming pop stars and top record producers. But with the advent of music technology over the past few years and the availability of cheaper equipment, this gives people with learning difficulties the chance to grasp this type of technology.

Students need no singing or musical talent, as the software can manipulate their voices and musical ability to produce viable outcomes.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Gamelea Countryside Training Trust provides training to people with learning disabilities or with multiple disabilities, and young disaffected and disadvantaged adults, a group which the Disability Rights Commission reports are most likely to be unemployed. They are also a group least likely to be involved with music technology and I.T.

This project believes that digital sound recording and all aspects of I.T and multimedia could provide a vital step towards empowering people with challenging behaviour, allowing them more control and choice over their lives and promoting inclusion in a very real way, in line with Government aspirations. 

OUTCOMES

This project will use technology in a way that will show people with learning difficulties an exciting and new way of recording music, audio and dialogue. It will also promote the learning of basic skills in particular emotion (confidence, self-esteem, creativity), social interaction (sharing, co-operation) and communication/language (interaction, information and instruction).

Students could create their own songs for use in raising the charities profile and for future fund raising events. Other establishments may also want to use the studio for students around the country to enable them to participate in musical technology.

The project will enable/tap-in-to students’ creative skills. Skills they may not previously thought they had. Giving them the chance to use technologies/software previously not available generally, due to cost, to the general public.

This project will offer the basics of writing music, the basics of musical timing and the basics of musical technology such as:

Learning MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)

Computer Aided Audio Sequencing

Virtual Instruments

Music Theory

Sound Mixing

Recording Audio

Effects units & Audio Processors 

Sampling of Audio Editing

Copyrighting of Music

Remember the spirit of 88.  Dole queues getting bigger, the Conservatives in power and class war on the streets.

But at the same time, shining out of the gloom, came the birth of Acid House.  One of the most significant cultural movements of the 20th Century.  Before corporate clubbing in faceless venues with bland promoters always looking at the bottom line, this was community and creativity and spirit.

Now the Tories are back and the number of unemployed is rising again, but thankfully for those of you too young to remember the first time round or those of you who should know better but don’t, we give you The Tea Street Band

They are causing a minor riot every time they play.  In the past 6 months they have organized a series of warehouse raves featuring classic Acid House sets with guest DJs such as Andy Carroll (Cream, The State) as well as modern contemporaries James Rand (Chibuku).

Tea Street Band are a bastard mutilation that in its most extreme combines 808 State with Doves and the gang mentality of The Happy Mondays.  

Their balaeric anthem ‘Fiesta’ is a already a massive hit with the disillusioned youth in Liverpool. A strange and heady concoction that is making their growing fanbase keep coming back for more.  

These kids where not there the first time round but they are doing their best to lead the assault on a new balaeric summer of love in 2012.

Fuck me a real rock n roll band!  This will be a hedonistic adventure to remember.  

The End (beautiful friend)

I think from me and can meet myself. I like living and well. for many of my fellow man I'm too complex, complicated, to thinking and knowing.
I'm questioning, direct and open. uncomfortable, some say, unusually, the other.
I am me! I-say!.
I hate the standstill and go my way, to be what I am!
my most erogenous ZONE is my BRAIN.
I am fine and my days are unemployed and also varied.
I hate wasting time, it is a waste of precious time to live.
have good manners and my style, so I can face it without loss to the store right time.
FREE-ies'm thinking and sometimes also used to take a risk, to identify and utilize resources.
I put great value on JUSTICE, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND HUMANITY

Many more people have with the
mental subsistence commented,
than with the material.
Thinking all is permitted,
it spared many ...

I "play music anyone can play in an attempt to satisfy man's basic human instinct: a beat, something loud (or not) and a few words". - Peter Kernel.

Hard driving Roots/Rock from Canada’s East Coast!

Since 2009, POGEY has been showcasing their unique take on Roots music at the biggest Celtic Rock festivals across the US resulting in an increased fan base and industry nominations.  The band has mastered how to captivate audiences with their crowd participation skills, original songs and remarkable instrumentals. Their show combines electric guitar, fiddle, mandolin, acoustic guitar, bass, drums, bodhran and four-part vocal harmonies to produce a trademark sound. POGEY has headlined and participated at such events as the Grey Cup 100 Kick Off (Toronto), Kansas City Irish Fest (4 appearances in 5 years), Taste of Edmonton and the Chicago, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and Colorado Irish Festivals – to name a few. They have also performed live and been interviewed on CBS, FOX, CBC and countless radio programs across America and Canada.

POGEY is the vision of Nova Scotia native and lead singer Ray Mattie who once moved to the Toronto region in search of like-minded musicians. The goal was to create an all-original band with a Roots based sound. Without finding the right chemistry, Mattie moved back to Nova Scotia and through a referral contacted bassist Jonny Grant. Lead guitarist Warren Robert (who originally signed up for two shows) rounds out the original line up which has been in place for 11 years. With a solid original core and increased engagements POGEY has added extra musicians to the group. Drummer Mike Carroll and fiddler Anthony Rissesco round out the line up.
