Chapter 12 - Fanfare for a new age

A premiere for the Bournemouth Arts By The Sea Festival 2021

Young writers at Poole Lighthouse, took up the challenge of researching visionary enterprises which address new plastic solutions through recycled and upcycled materials, alternative raw material feedstocks and biomimicry. They transformed this research into poetic text sung by Jeremy Avis. 

​

Bournemouth University music technology students used this poetry alongside a new fanfare and generated sounds from single use plastics. They upcycled these materials by improvising, degrading, recreating and recycling the audio into their own tracks.
