What does your Electric Storm look like?
Delia Derbyshire Day is looking to commission an outstanding digital, multi media or creative technology artist aged 30 or under. As part of our DD Day 2019 “Electric Storm 50” project, we want you to collaborate with a musician/sound artist to create an exciting new work inspired by the seminal album ‘An Electric Storm’ by White Noise. Delia Derbyshire was a key member of White Noise. The work will be performed at DD Day 2019 (23 November 2019) in Manchester and further performance opportunities could be offered. You need to show understanding of Delia’s work and working methods – you can research about Delia online. We want you to be bold and dedicated to your craft, like Delia was.
We will match you with a musician/sound artist or you might work with someone you already know (they need to apply too). In collaboration, you will produce a 15-20 minute new work inspired by the Electric Storm album. You will also interact with the Delia Derbyshire Archive at John Rylands Library, Manchester.
Payment of £1000 (5 days @ £200 per day) including the first performance at DD Day 2019. Further performance opportunities will be paid separately.
