| TPWM Artists in Residence: Juneau Projects Make Music in Worcester Posted: 25 Feb 2013 05:39 AM PST
 Artist-duo Juneau Projects are to create an album of songs for people to download at locations in Worcester. The Worcester-based residency, one of five TPWM artist-residencies awarded to institutions in the region, is being led by the University of Worcester, working in partnership with Movement Gallery and Worcester City Art Gallery. Juneau Projects will be in Worcester in early 2013 to research and develop new work in, for and with the city. Building on their long-term project of collaborative music making, they will produce a short album of songs downloadable for free via contemporary 'shrines' to the sometimes perverse and always weird back-to-nature techno-urban 21st century culture of modern Britain. The shrines will relate to the city centre venues in which they are housed. After a period of on-site research in February and March, they plan to write and record a song for each venue, collaborating on the songwriting and recording process with venues' users. Juneau Projects will present the outcomes of their work in May, when Worcester residents and visitors will be invited to gather all the tracks that have been produced by plugging a USB stick into the shrines located in each venue taking part. They hope that experience of collecting the songs will offer an antidote to the ever increasing speed of the worldwide web.
