The Record Player Orchestra (part of going together 24)
The Record Player Orchestra
Workshop with Roger Clarke as part of doing together 24
Thursday 4 April 2024
The Record Player Orchestra is an installation of record players, turntables and bespoke vinyl records. Sound works are created by combining sounds on the specially created vinyl record that was mastered at Abbey Road Studios and pressed at the Vinyl Factory.
Attendees at the doing together 24 Symposium were invited to become players in the Record Player Orchestra. By listening to the tracks on both sides of the vinyl record, participants were invited to explore how they might complement the sounds being made by other players. From these explorations, surprising improvisations and compositions were developed.

doing together is a yearly two-day making and sharing practice symposium at Locksbrook Campus, hosted by the Centre for Cultural and Creative Industries in collaboration with Bath School of Art, Film and Media and Bath School of Music and Performing Arts.
Workshops, delivered by staff and postgraduate students from across the University, share practice-based research methods and a broad range of approaches to practice. doing together is proposed as a generous space to make/do/share and discuss practice with colleagues from a range of different Schools.
Throughout the symposium, facilitators – alongside participants – test out ways of doing together in an effort to make their practice-based research explicit, rather than simply describe it.
