Open Collab #18 JANUARY / FEBRUARY at Online
See event details

A event on Saturday 12th February. The event starts at 19:00.


We're hosting a regular Open Collab night right here! It's going to be an immersive evening of improvised music set to spoken word. The night will be totally spontaneous and totally magic. We listen to your poems to get a flavour of what to expect, and leave the creation of the sonic world to be improvised on the spot with any instruments we feel like picking up!

In this time of separation, let's remain collaborative and creative and make something truly unique.

We want to create a sonic world around your poem.

We're hosting a brand new monthly Open Collab night live on our YouTube Channel and we want to collaborate with YOU!

What do we need from you?
We want you to record yourself performing your poetry or prose and send it in to us. We'll then improvise and respond to your spoken word live on stream, adding musical accompaniment, vocal loops, found sounds and recordings, and whatever else we are inspired to add!
