Music Without Sound announced!

The University of the West of Scotland’s’ MA Music: Innovation and
Entrepreneurship delivered at the CCA is the first course of its kind in the UK.

In keeping with its intention to ‘think different’ about music comes the groundbreaking Music Without Sound event. Music with… Hair, Creativity, Dance, Technology, Therapy, Education, Sex, Entrepreneurship, Silence, Fashion, Death… and Miniatures.

Featuring key and emerging figures from across the creative industries Music Without Sound will combine unique panel and performance events and is designed for anyone who has a passion for music and wants to develop a music-related business or creative activity. Its focus is music across all of the creative industries rather than simply ‘the music industry’. At the heart of the event is the creation of an environment that encourages everyone to ‘think again’.


The day will include:

- Panel on music’s influence on creative practice across other art forms from architecture to film to sculpture. Panel includes novelist Christopher Brookmyre, poet Sandy Hutchison and architects Ice Cream Architecture.
- Panel on music’s relationship to Hair, Fashion & Sex
- Panel on Entrepreneurship, Technology & Death.
- Panel on Therapy, Rehabilitation & Education.

All panels will simultaneously contain an element of creative performance.

For instance the Hair, Fashion & Sex panel will involve stylists cutting
hair on stage while the discussion takes place as an artist recycles the
hair to give a portrait of unstylish and unsexy Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg a makeover.

The UWS Scratch Ensemble will perform John Cage’s 4’33” ( popularly know as ‘Silence’) and the ensemble of 20 musicians (of whom only a small number can actually play the instrument they are holding - hence playing from ‘scratch’) will perform a programme of iconic Scottish music that includes -

‘Flower of Scotland’, Deacon Blue’s ‘Dignity’, Franz Ferdinand’s ‘Take Me Out’, film-composer Craig Armstrong’s hauntingly beautiful ‘Love Theme’ from the movie Romeo & Juliet and Biffy Clyro’s ‘When We Collide’.

As part of the event 100 members of the Scottish musical and creative community are being asked to create unique miniatures which will form a Lilliputian art exhibition exhibited at the CCA.

The canvases will be displayed anonymously in the manner of the Royal College of Art’s ‘Secret’ postcard exhibition and sold at a flat rate.

These will be sold on the day on a first come first served basis with all proceeds going to Sense Scotland.

Sense Scotland has been working for over 20 years with children and adults who have communication support needs because of deafblindness, sensory impairment, learning and physical disabilities. One of their key areas of expertise is communication. Working closely with people, often on a one-to-one basis, they aim to find out what their aspirations are and how they want to live their lives.
