Description

Calling female players & noise makers with electric guitars / hand held electronics and micro amps.

Gals with Guitars (Feel the Noise) is a new participatory composition by Sharon Gal, for a group of female players, using electric guitars, hand-held electronics, and micro amps.

The piece applies collaborative music making and highlights the relationship between sound and space by exploring and responding to the characteristics of the performance environment, its architecture and acoustics.
The composition is immersive and dynamic; the players move around the space, affecting its ambience, projecting their sound and combining it with others, shaping and sculpting the material, bringing about the group’s unique resonance and the emergence of a new sound.

Gal's with Guitars will be developed and performed to camera on the 26th of August as part of V22’s Summer School.

To take part you will need a battery powered micro amp (one that you attach to a belt, to carry with you while playing) a guitar with a strap (or hand held electronics) and spare batteries for your amp. The performance will be filmed, and made public with credit to all the performers.
To take part and more info email galswithguitars@gmail.com
