sound generator 2024

During 2024-2025 I’m taking part in Sound UK’s R&D scheme, Sound Generator - a programme supporting early career sound & music artists in an exploration of an innovative new project.

I’m going to be researching & planning a new live, immersive outdoor performance piece exploring clean air, landscape and community through a playful soundscape. ‘Kite Song’ will be performed by the public, weaving together sounds of aeolian whistling kites alongside a roaming multichannel vocal composition. Through the simple act of kite flying and freely moving through Nature, the work aims to connect people to the land, the sky and each other.

“I get a strong sense of the visual impact and the excitement the community involved could feel about Kite Song. I’m excited for Francesca to bring her vision to life.”
