A form of music where the musicians play sounds in a free-form manner to create an immediate (“in the moment”) musical composition. It combines performance with communication of emotions and instrumental technique as well as spontaneous response to other musicians (and in this case responding to the audience’s reactions).

We can perform for people living with different disabilities, be it physical, intellectual, neurological, etc. Families will be contacted to discuss scheduling and duration and of the performance, the musical personnel involved, any information about the condition/disability and care/treatment we need to know. There will be ample opportunity to discuss any concerns and ensure all involved are well informed.

We outreach to you. Performances will take place in the family home, ensuring the person impacted by their disability is comfortable, safe, has access to usual care, and can share the experience with family members and carers.

Depending on the family and individualised needs of the person, each performance typically lasts 1 hour. This gives plenty of opportunity for feeding, rest time or other treatment needs, as well as investigating and refining the types of sounds and techniques that the audience enjoy most.

Yes! We encourage family members and carers to not only listen to the performance but to take part in it too. Our sessions include time dedicated to assisting family members to play music/sound art for/with their loved one impacted by a disability. A family member or carer must always be present to supervise and provide necessary treatment to the person.
