The group Strathbrock 2 was tasked with producing music inspired by a photograph – A picture of a tropical island beach. We discussed what we expected to see, what we might hear and how it makes us feel -ranging from “happy”, “calm” to “scared” (“there might be sharks” and “I dont like flying”!)

The group was organised like an orchestra, with a conductor instructing the players to play at appropriate times.

The first recording is of a calm beach with us feeling happy there.

 

The second recording is of a tropical storm arriving. This time the conductor was instructing the “orchestra” how  quiet or loud to play.
