Last year I spent one of my most creatively intense periods working on the TRACE-E Project. Now I'm delighted to share the documentary film about it 🎥
And you can have a listen to the Album, too! 🎧

SÓN musicians were on stage for this project last year, exploring themes of electronic waste through the medium of music, sampling, electronics, dance & spoken word

The eWaste music+education projects I’ve been involved in recently are distilled into this new article (incl last year’s TRACE-E Musician-in-Residence)
Fascinating read 📖
