Sound UK: The Open Fund for Organisations
Sound UK is launching a new national R&D programme to develop artists and the work they present. Each year, Sound Generator will enable 6 early-career contemporary music artists to test and develop bold new ideas, supported by a national network of industry experts.
Sound Generator creates a space for artists to develop and test ambitious ideas. Supported by this scheme, artists will be able to try out new approaches, learn from others and develop their practice. Following an open call, 6 artists will each receive an award of £2000 to research and develop their idea across 6 months (March to September 2021). The includes creating a short audio or video sample and proposal for its delivery. Each artist will have access to the Sound Generator Network with support sessions from a range of exceptional mentors.
