As part of the Stanley Picker Gallery’s Schools’ Programme, Kingston College Creative Media students have been participating in Tuning In a series of Gallery-based workshops inspired by Crafts Council touring exhibition Sound Matters.

Throughout Tuning In students learnt about exhibiting maker’s practices and craft processes and inspired by composer Cathy Lane, electronic musicians Scanner and Yuri Suziki, and designer and installation artist Dominic Wilcox, have composed and recorded their own Kingston upon Thames themed sound-based artworks for public presentation onsite, online and as a local radio broadcast.

Samples of voice and ‘created sound’ based works in progress can be heard below.
