Happy to share this new project & collaboration created during lockdown 2020: https://window.dbs-i.org/
*
'Window' is a remote musical collaboration between patients at Langdon Hospital in Dawlish, UK (Devon Partnership NHS Trust), their music instructor, Matt Smith, recording artists Mike Ladd, John Matthias and Jay Auborn, dBs Pro and staff and students (new and old) from dBs Music Bristol.
*
Langdon Hospital supports men from the South West of England who, as a consequence of their mental health needs, have had contact with the legal system and require a safe and secure environment that enables them to receive a wide range of treatments, therapies and care to assist in their recovery. During the Covid-19 pandemic, music instructor, Matt Smith was unable to move freely around the hospital and decided to alleviate the patients' occupational deprivation by initiating a remote musical collaboration, inviting external recording artists to remix their music. This is the result of that collaborative process. All of the music was written after April 2020 and is inspired by different interpretations of the concept of the Window.

Check out the music, bios and more via the projects custom site wrapper. You can skip and jump back and forth between original and remixes by clicking on the waveforms.

HUGE thanks to all the creative peeps involved in this project.
