Over the past 6 months, Saffron has been working with five emerging Bristol-based music producers on a program of artistic development. The project has centred around a commission from MSCTY, the leading global music-architecture agency that invites musicians and recording artists to compose tracks in response to locations in cities around the world.

How they responded to the site chosen - and the processes that they use to do so - was left entirely up to each individual, so we are gifted with five totally unique tracks reflecting Portland Square, Christmas Steps, Phoenix Wharf, Millennium Square and Bristol Museum. Sounds comprise skittering snares and distorted melodic electronics from Medis, deep sub-bass and distant watery siren calls from Ratiba Ayadi, yearning soulful genre-blending from Tallulah Blue, spoken word and experimental electronics from Marla Kether and pounding high-end techno from The Yard Woman.

The artists will be performing live sets at this showcase event at Strange Brew, Bristol on 3rd of May.
Tickets can be reserved for free, but capacity is very limited!
