Komuna Collective : Open Fund for Music Creators
Komuna Collective
The Komuna Collective is a group of artists, DJs and musicians committed to experimentation. Formed in 2022, Komuna launched in an underground nightclub in Oxford. Since then, they have performed at London Fashion Week, Riposte Queer Raves, as well as in nightclubs and concert halls around Oxford and London. Their work has been supported by the Ralph Vaughan Williams Trust, Arts Council England and The Oxford Research Centre for Humanities. Their debut album ‘Views from the Real World’ will be released in Autumn 2024.
Views from the real world
The Komuna Collective will use their Open Fund for Music Creators grant to release and tour their debut album, ‘Views from the Real World,’ by Adam Possener around the UK. A 40-minute album for string quartet, electronics, and video, ‘Views from the Real World’ digests everything from Bach to Beyoncé, Reddit to Minecraft, Critical Psychiatry to personal rejections, and mashes it all together into a maximalist tongue-in-cheek soundworld. Having found their home in fashion shows, raves, nightclubs, and the occasional concert hall, the Komuna Collective is excited to share this fresh new body of work with the world.
