Nota Bene: Canterbury Christ Church University and the CPBRA (2018)
Within the Arts and Humanities school at Canterbury Christ Church University exists the CPBRA – the Centre for Practice-Based Research in the Arts. It is a central repository for creative output across different departments and disciplines: all staff and postgrad students' work is catalogued there and it is a source of much pride by the university. This feature documentary podcast interviews three musicians about their work for the centre in the 2017/18 academic year and has been put together as part of my practice-based PhD submission portfolio.
The compositional process was that I was granted access to the entire practice research output for the year but asked to not be told what the pieces were for, the conceptual ideas behind them, or who their composers were. This forced me to work intuitively with the music itself, drawing on the mood of the pieces and their inherent semiotics as they might apply to feature documentary work.
Features interviewees Lauren Redhead, Sarah Gail Brand and Dan Herbert.
