sound52 was conceived, somewhat ironically, in silence.

The idea of an ambitious county wide music project arose in the millennium year of 2000 and wascollaboratively developed over a period of eighteen months by soundLINCS and Lincolnshire County CouncilBoth organisations envisaged a sustained project of exceptional quality that would engage children and youngpeople in a sincere music making process. The idea, fuelled by a dedicated consortium of funders, supporters andpartners, grew to be the loudest and hottest participatory music project that Lincolnshire has ever experienced.

This report is a silent account of sound52 in words, numbers and images and attempts to reflect the vibrancy of aproject that has seldom been quiet! It also celebrates a project that has successfully managed to harmonise threevoices that frequently compete: artistic, logistic and financial concerns.

sound52 applied it's participatory ethos to individuals, groups and organisations which became involved with theproject. Individuals worked in a team; small groups performed in big bands; organisations transformedthemselves into a network. sound52 boldly confirmed an understanding that is confidently shared within the uniquearts infrastructure of Lincolnshire; the county is a creative home that is doing it for itself.

It is hoped that this report transmits the sense of sound52 and that you might catch the diminishing echo of a drum,voice, or guitar and that you will witness the phenomenal impact of sound52 and share in the pride ofchildren and young people who have created so much for themselves.

First Notes provided Pre-school and nursery childrenthroughout Lincolnshire the unique (and FREE!!)opportunity to work with a music facilitator over aperiod of eight weeks. They enjoyed opportunities tosing, play musical instruments and create new songsinspired by the theme Our World.

Every First Notes residency comprised eight sessionswith time set aside each week for working withchildren, parents & carers, and Early YearsPractitioners. The primary aims of the residency wereto promote enjoyment and confidence in musicmaking for all participants.Defining the structure and content of a residency wasa collaborative process involving soundLINCS, FirstNotes music facilitators and Lincolnshire Pre-SchoolLearning Alliance. It was agreed that sessions shouldhave similar structures but that each would promote aspecific core musical skill or experience. The sevencores were: Exploring Musical Instruments; Pulse;Tempo; Rhythm; Dynamics; Pitch; Instrument Making.Each residency was celebrated at it's conclusion withan informal sharing event called the Minimelt. Mostsettings invited parents and other family members toenjoy the musical expression of their children at theMinimelt.

soundLINCS provided an instrument kit for use by First Notes musicfacilitators who were employed on the project. Each kit is overflowingwith 54 robust and attractive sounding instruments that offer allchildren (and adults!) an exciting soundworld to explore. It containspitched and unpitched instruments that can be struck, scraped,shaken and stirred! Every setting that hosted a First Notes residencyreceived a free Resource Pack. This is a bespoke package of musicalactivities, photographs, information and other resources for EarlyYears settings and has been developed for Lincolnshire by:soundLINCS; Lincolnshire County Council - Foundation StageCurriculum Advisors; Lincolnshire Pre-school Learning Alliance andFirst Notes music facilitators. The core contents of the Resource Packare sixty double sided activitycards. Each card contains thedescription of a musical activityon one side, and detailedinformation about how thatactivity relates to the FoundationStage Curriculum on the other.The detailed information refersto: Area of Learning; Aspect;Stepping Stones.

HEATUP!HeatUp! offered young people in Lincolnshire the opportunity to explore and develop their musical skills andinterests with experienced facilitators. After an initial two hour 'taster' workshop participating groups in YouthCentres, Arts Centres and other community settings were offered a residency. This comprised twenty x twohour weekly workshop sessions in either Contemporary Popular Music, Junk Percussion or Vocals. A choicewas offered to groups of either weekly sessions or week-long residencies.Junk and Vocal sessions were facilitated by a single worker. Contemporary Popular Music sessions employedtwo workers who were 'paired up' to maximise complimentary skills, experiences and approaches.The project provided fourteen sets of Contemporary Popular Music equipment. Each set comprised sufficientinstruments and amplification for a five piece rock band together with microphones, stands and PA for threevocalists. The equipment was stored at settings throughout thecounty so that HeatUp! groups could access it at all times.Contemporary Popular Music was clearly the most popular choice withgroups, with a lesser demand for Junk and Vocals. The vocalprogramme was expanded by collaborations with the Music SupportServices Youth Choir.The focus for HeatUp! groups during July and August 2003 waslearning parts for the Commissions to be performed Meltdown.The focus from September 2003 to March 2004 was BurnIt.

'Can we have another Heatup!residency - please!' Youth Worker(ELDC)'Thank you. sound52 has beenmarvellous. A wonderful opportunityfor our young people to really gettheir teeth into something whilsthaving enormous fun' Youth Worker(ELDC)'I really think these music residenciesare a great idea, can we haveanother one? Maybe in JunkPercussion? One boy is now in aband, and he would never have hadthe impetus to join before thesessions with your facilitators' YouthWorker (ELDC)'The residency has, for us, achievedall its aims and more' Youth Worker(ELDC)

THE PRODUCERS COMMISSIONS

The project brought together fourteen young people and fiveindependent music Producers to explore the potentials of technologybased music making. It ran from July 14 to August 12 2003. A musicProducer's role combines musicianship, composition and audioengineering skills to create original work within a recording studio thatis usually owned and operated by themselves.Each Producer worked with a team of young people to collect audiosamples from eleven HeatUp! music workshops. The workshops were ablend of the three music styles offered in HeatUp!: ContemporaryPopular Music, Junk Percussion and Vocals.

Each Producer and their team took the audio samples into a recordingstudio and explored how they might be manipulated/extended for use inthe composition of an original track.

The Producers also worked independently with the samplesto create ten original tracks that were premiered at

Meltdown and are also featured on disc two of theMeltdown double CD. Two Producers created their

work in building based studios and two workedon laptop computers whilst on tour in Japan.Three young people from The Producerscontinued to develop their interest inTechnology music making whilstparticipating in the National Youth Musicproject Cre8. (www.youthmusic/cre8). One

Producer was also involved in Cre8.

NineteenHeatUp! facilitators attended a bespokeInduction Day for the project in December. TenFirst Notes facilitators and five Producers wereInducted in January 2003.

The project has consistently attracted the interestof musicians and four further interview andinduction processes were arranged. This resultedin seven First Notes and sixteen HeatUp!facilitators joining the project team. A total offifty five facilitators have been inducted intosound52 with forty five of them obtaining regularpaid work - a remarkable achievement for aproject that started off with none!

All sound52 facilitators must attend a bespokeCore Induction process prior to commencingwork on the project. The Core Induction includesa Criminal Records Bureau process andawareness- raising sessions on (amongst others)Anti Discriminatory Practice, Child Protection andRisk Assessment. First Notes facilitators alsoattend an Early Years Induction Day. This processhas become standard soundLINCS procedure andextends good practice for recruitment to allposts.

SOCIAL &ECONOMIC IMPACTFifty-five music facilitators have been Inducted into sound52. Forty-five ofthem were provided with contracts for services for the project. The volumeof paid work for HeatUp! facilitators varies between one and five sessionsper week. The range for First Notes is between one and eight sessions perweek. A session is equivalent to a morning, afternoon or evening.Five First Notes facilitators also undertake HeatUp! sessions, as does oneProducer.Eighteen facilitators have been employed on music projects other thansound52. These include county wide projects such as Lincolnshire CountyCouncil Music Services and New Opportunities Fund 'after school'workshops. Other music projects such as Come & Play, PassionatePercussion and NCH Sure Start Nth Lincolnshire tend to be location specificwith soundLINCS playing a leading role as either the sole organiser or amajor partner. soundLINCS relatively recent intervention into the countycreative industries cannot be under estimated.sound52 has contracted services from predominantly Lincolnshire basedcompanies and freelance workers, generating £268,748 of local business.This is equivalent to 77% of the total spend of £351,081 for the project:Audio recording; CD duplication; Graphic design; Lighting design;Marketing; Photography; Print; Sound design; Training; Video production;Web design; Workshop leaders. This impressive list highlights thesignificant contribution sound52 made to the county's creative industriessector.

Normallyhe finds difficulty with numeracy,literacy, colour recognition andphysical activities. They feel that musichas enabled him to shine at somethingwhich is improving his confidence.'Anecdote'Practitioners have reported a 'knock-on' effect as the First Notesparticipants are sharing what theyhave done with other children at thepre-school.' Anecdote'A mum told me that her daughterdoesn't say much about what she'sbeen doing all day, except when she'sdone music, and then you can't keepher quiet' Anecdote'East Midlands is home to a thrivingcreative industry. The huge number ofjobs in the creative industries and thestrong growth and confidence withinthem mean that there is no doubtabout the sector's value to the region.More than this, many of thesecompanies add real value to otherbusinesses across the region throughtheir creative input' Chris Ward-Brown,creative industries manager at EastMidlands Development Agency

QUOTES

sound52 has attracted enormous press interest within the East Midlandsregion.
