The Samata Sessions – a global composition

The First Samata Session

The Samata Sessions is an exciting new collaboration between a new collective of international artists and activists which involves bringing together global voices in dance, music, poetry, arts and other creative areas to experiment with international hybrid performances.

For this first session we had; Tinderbox Orchestra playing live original music from the Pianodrome in Edinburgh, Scotland; Indian Wedding Rockers, a high octane drumming band who are part of Kathputli Colony in Dehli, India (https://www.facebook.com/kathcolony ) ; Hadassah Louis, an amazing poet and activist from Zambia (https://www.hadassahlouis.com/books ), Chitrakoot Collective in India (https://www.instagram.com/chitrakootcollective/?utm_medium=copy_link ) , a fantastic dance group in Kenya (https://www.projectelimu.org/ ), and (http://www.creativeageinginternational.com/ ) from Ireland.

What we had in effect was a mini global festival timed so that people could tune in from far and wide.

The day started with prepping everything for the setup, this was to be an experimental session. Here, in Scotland, we gathered at the Pianodrome in a warehouse in Granton, Edinbugh. Musicians bustling in with instruments, audience members taking their seats, and finally, going live on the Zoom call that was being projected onto the wall of the warehouse

It was 3pm UK time, 4pm Zambia / 5pm Kenya / 7.30pm Delhi and with a little fine tuning, we were off to a start.

Vijay, the Dhol players and percussionists from Jagriti got everybody grooving. The urge to bhangra was very present. A smooth transition onto the Elimu dance group, where Kenyan students presented , they moved in to the drumming too! There was such elegance to their rhythms and it was beautiful to watch. We then had some evocative words of poetry read by Hadassah in Zambia, with undertones of the orchestra in the background and some percussion. This was an experimental composition and it synced in well. What a success! Suffice to say we and all the audience were moved. Chitrakoot Collective followed with sharing digital zines about their work with bettering the lives of women in their local communities. We heard words from a project called Sapno Ka Haq which translates to ‘the right to dream’, this piece involved hearing from young people about their dreams and some of the challenges they would face in accomplishing them.

We completed the session with another drumming round and it was superb. Vijay and his group can bring such liveliness to a room, even over zoom.

If you happened to miss this session, keep an eye out for any future sessions we might hold. It was an inspiring afternoon and we are keen to do it again.

Here are some snaps from the session:

Tinderbox Orchestra at Fringe by the Sea

The Day That Was

Fringe By The Sea and the Tinderbox Orchestra

Sunday15th August 2021@North Berwick

Every week we have a team meeting and we have a round of sharing updates which we call “the week that was”. It is a nice turn of phrasing to begin each round. On Sunday the 15th of August we had our first official event since restrictions were implemented in light of Covid-19. This brought us to “the day that was”. Tinderbox Orchestra had the fantastic opportunity to play our first live gig since the pandemic began as part of Fringe By The Sea (tag). The Collective headed out to North Berwick for the event by car, bus, van, minibus, bike and motorcycle. We could gather once again and share music. It is quintessentially human to want to communicate and to express and it was a much needed moment that we all anticipated with great eagerness.



Just picture this. You walk through a beautiful garden to a path leading up to a giant blue and yellow striped tent, but this was no meagre tent. It invoked circus level energy and it was brilliant.

The stage was huge and soon enough the team got setting up. Practice and sound checks were underway. Everyone was pumped for this. Soon enough people started filtering in and there was a cacophony of sounds bouncing off the peaks of the ginormous tent, filled with children’s laughter, chatter and puppy barks!

Preparations and practice:

 

 

 

 

 

 

We started the set with our community anthem, Bethany Lane. It’s a call to bring everyone together to share music and creativity and has never felt more appropriate than for this gig. We went on to drift through the wonderland of Luci Holland’s creation that is Rimo, threw our hair around for Frazer Knox’s Quetzlequatl and were lulled by the stunning vocals of Julia Dorozynska pefroming the mighty Hailey Beavis’ ‘Daybreak’.

Have a listen to some of these pieces from our (soundcloud) – https://soundcloud.com/tinderboxcollective

As the gig progressed, people had nestled into their seats or chosen a grassy seat of their choice on the ground. This provided great fodder for the children who created grass castles and mazes.

Before we knew it, we were winding up the show in true Celtic style, jigging away to Graham Coe’s arrangement of Cas na coire. The audience were showing their full appreciation with whoops, cheers and dancing.

It felt absolutely brilliant to have the show back on the road and on the stage again! What a relief after all this time apart. We had been quite apprehensive about how everyone would feel getting back together to rehearse after all this isolation and it was very encouraging to see the band return so quickly to full form. Congratulations to all the players and team who put in the effort to make that happen!

The day did not end with the event itself, a good day never does. We packed up and progressed to the beach (we were in North Berwick after all, right by the sea). The sun shone through and things were looking sweet. In our merry group, we had orchestra singers, musicians, young participants from the Tinderbox Online Music School (link here), their families, and other supporting team who helped bring everything together.

When a beach gathering occurs, you can guess correctly that it is soon followed by pizza. We shared pizza and Jed serenaded us throughout with his wonderful singing/guitar playing and all round encouraging words. The students and others chimed in with instruments of their choice. This continued on until the afternoon and we had a blast.

The day we envisaged, was.

See more pictures here:

                                                                                   

You can check the moments from the day on our Instagram highlights: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18138974914201559/

 

A big thank you to all the folks in the audience, the team at the venue, Fringe by the sea, Tinderbox support staff, all of our partners/funders, and the orchestra contributors who shared their light with everyone that day.

Music at The Hospital for Sick Children

A few months ago, I was asked if I would like to join some of my wonderful, fellow Tinderbox musicians and do some music sessions at the Sick Kids Hospital.

As things are only just getting less restricted, I was a bit unsure of how the sessions would run- luckily I had Rhys to show me how it’s done. I was able to shadow him for a session and we had SO MUCH FUN. We duet-ed loads of different styles of songs, visited and performed in different wards and even had a sing and dance along with the nurses!

In my first session without Rhys, I was nervous! I was unsure about what music I should play or how to ask people if they even wanted music. I was worried about playing too many songs or being too loud until I walked into a ward and met two 5 year old girls. We decided to form a girl band (as someone who DREAMED of being a Spice Girl, this was very exciting for me) and we  danced, sang and then debated the best character from ‘Frozen’ and it was wonderful.

Another memorable session was when I gave a baby in the PICU one of our shakers to shake whilst I played and sang some songs. She held onto it for so long that I almost ran out of songs (!) and when I came back the next week, her Grandma had gotten her, her own!

I think what I have learned so far through these sessions is that each week is so different and that you really can’t plan what’s going to happen- which, although slightly daunting, is really exciting! I’m really looking forward to fully finding my feet with it and to continue to share wonderful moments through music!

Action for Children

For four weeks over the summer holidays, I, along with Marion from Action for Children, ran a music making and songwriting project at St. Thomas of Addiewell Primary School in West Lothian.

The first couple of weeks were filled with lots of fun games, drumming and forming a band to learn a cover of ‘Memories’ by Maroon 5. As it was so warm we also did lots of our sessions outside- jamming together and playing the ‘find the drumstick’ game.

We then decided that we would start to write our song together. We learned that Ben (AKA Benasaurus) knew lots about dinosaurs which we thought we could use to our advantage and decided we would write a rap song about dinosaurs and what it would be like if they were in a band.

Over the next few sessions we came up with different verses and chose which chords we wanted to use by hearing different styles and chord progressions on the guitar. We were lucky that in our band already, we had a guitar player, trumpet player, piano player and expert dinosaur impressionist which made it easy to decide which instruments and sounds to use.

In the last three sessions, we recorded ourselves playing the song on our different instruments and our singing and then I mixed and edited it together. After some notes from the band, we had a track we were happy with. However, we felt that every good song deserves to have a music video. So, Maya and Bartosz used their film making skills to film the dinosaur in different situations which was then later edited into our music video!

By Claire Docherty

Here’s the beautiful piece of music that came out of this project. “Not as fierce as they look” 

Seamab Safe

Great to be back at Seamab

Tinderbox have been running music workshops and lessons with children at Seamab School for 3 years. Seamab provides care and education to children from across Scotland who have complex needs. Up to 21 children come to school at Seamab, with up to 15 children in residential placements in 3 bungalows about a mile away from the school.

When I returned to working at Seamab after the pandemic, the pupils were very keen to get back to music making. We have a music “hut” where each child has a space to explore different instruments on their own without the hustle and bustle of classmates and teachers. Everyone has slightly different interests, but the drum kit is always a favourite! It’s always a great moment when the pupils are simply enjoying playing music and becoming more confident in their own ability to create.

Music For Film at Edinburgh Youth Film Festival

We couldn’t have chosen a more atmospheric morning for our recent Music for Film collaboration with the Edinburgh Youth Theatre. Arriving into the space at St John’s Church on the corner of Prince’s Street we were greeted by friendly staff and stunning sights.

 

The views from each window perfectly set the scene for the creation of the soundtrack to the film ‘Zombified’ which was written by one of their young participants. On one side of the room, we overlooked a misty courtyard with ruined tombstones, and on the other a gothic clocktower – all ideal visual prompts for the immersive, musical experience to follow. Everyone present contributed their ideas to the music and performed together using a variety of Instruments including, Ukulele, Guitar, Percussion and the church’s piano to create the final piece.

 

In just under two hours, Mike led the group in composing, performing and recording the score for the short film. What a brilliant and inspiring morning!

South Ayrshire Music Service “Summer Sessions 20/21”

Last term we worked with some amazing young musicians, bands and ensembles from South Ayrshire Music Service, helping to create these online recordings and videos for their “Summer Sessions 20/21” programme.  Have a look at the videos below, and here’s a bit of information from South Ayrshire Music Service about the project:

During the challenges of the 20/21 school session, South Ayrshire Instrumental Music Service adapted delivery of instrumental lessons to ensure our reached young people in schools and at home delivering over 14,000 live lessons across the session. Our young musicians amazed us with their resilience, positive attitude and ability to continue to learn. We were unable to hold our normal ensemble and group activities, but pupils took part in a 6 week virtual rehearsal programme across different authority ensembles.

Going with the flow with Craigroyston High School

We love the expressive arts team at Craigroyston Community High school. It’s hard to imagine a better partnership with a school.

During the pandemic they have worked incredibly hard in challenging circumstances to make sure that they are doing their best for the pupils at the school and that has included ensuring that the Tinderbox partnership with the school continues.

In March we managed to run another online songwriting project in another completely new setting. In the past we have run these projects in school and in 2020 we ran some of them online via the smart board into classrooms. This time the school was closed to pupils and we ran the project to pupils on individual devices with some pupils at home and others the hub for vulnerable children or children of key workers.

Once again, it was a fascinating experiment with a steep learning curve!

One of the challenges of the project was that there was very little direct online video engagement with pupils for their music classes at the time. Things had been set up so that there was an optional weekly check in to support with work that had been set online, but it wasn’t really being used. Due to problems with access to internet, devices and skills, it wasn’t possible to make any of these sessions mandatory even if teachers had wanted to.

Our challenge was to try to get some enthusiasm out there for the project so that pupils who were able to join would want to come along.

I made a short promo video to advertise the project and sent that around before we started (see link below).

Thankfully we had 18 pupils come along to the first session, which was a great number considering that only 1 or 2 had been along to the support sessions in the past. 

As always it was a challenge to persuade pupils to turn on their cameras and mics, but there was good interaction in the chat. 

We were able to use the chat function to write the lyrics for the song and pupils were involved in all aspects of the recording.

Feedback from their teacher was that she actually saw some pupils participate who would never normally participate in this kind of thing. Once again, the pandemic has thrown up more surprises.

Tinderbox and X11 International Collaboration

In October 2020 we were lucky enough to be accepted onto a European Union funded programme called Learning Labs run by an organisation called Creative FLIP (Finance, Learning, Innovation and Patenting). They brought together a really inspiring group of around 15 creative hubs from all across Europe who were partnering up with educational institutions in innovative ways. The hubs were able to meet every Friday to share our work with each other which was great for developing our practice, but also very interesting to hear about peoples’ first hand experience of how the pandemic is affecting things across the whole continent.

In one of our breakout sessions we were with a group called X11 from Utrecht, Netherlands, and discussing that one of the most interesting developments of the pandemic has been the way that the move to online teaching has removed barriers of physical distance for people to work together. We realised that, given that our delivery was all online at the time, there was a brilliant opportunity to run a project together.

X11 are a really interesting school for 12 – 16 year olds that specialises in Media, Design and ICT. They have some really progressive policies which include; no hierarchal system in the school; no rules of the school instead students and teachers would develop the rules together; students work on projects and are given a high degree of freedom to create and innovate inspiring pieces of work. Clearly a lot of crossover with our youth led approach.

After a bit of discussion we realised that one of the desired outcomes of a partnership would be for participants to develop their English as a foreign language so a songwriting project seemed like a natural fit.

The setting was on Microsoft Teams with all participants at home on their own individual devices. We started with the question, ‘What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given’ and it all went from there. Have a listen to the song and see what you think.

It has been fascinating to see how something like this is now possible and we hope to develop more similar partnership projects like this.

SCOREscotland Songwriting Sessions!

Over the last term, Jed and Claire from Tinderbox ran a songwriting project online via Zoom to the amazing young people of SCORE Scotland. Along with Harry from SCORE, we met every Wednesday night and by the end of the project, had managed to create a really wonderful and unique song together.  

The sessions usually started with a dance and a question of the week before moving onto our open mic section of the evening. Throughout the weeks, we had some amazing music performances and dance routines, saw some wonderful artwork created by the participants and had our knowledge tested by some riddles. We also had the opportunity to listen to some incredible poetry by Leen- one of the participants. We found her poem so creative and thought-provoking that we decided to incorporate it into our song. 

Using Leen’s poem as inspiration and the chat box in Zoom, we began to work together to finish the song’s lyrics whilst Jed helped us pick the style of the song by playing different genres on his guitar. 

We then had Matthew (aka Mercurius) come in to expertly rap Leen’s poem for us whilst I added a bit of vocals to go along with Jed’s very cool harmonies on the final mixed track. 

I’m sure I can speak for the whole team when I say we had SO MUCH FUN with the participants from SCORE and absolutely love to see some of them continuing their music making by coming to our Online Music School on a Saturday morning.

Amazing Harmonies – Online Music Lessons

Amazing Harmonies is a community choir based in North West Edinburgh, using singing to bring people together to promote health and wellbeing, build networks and celebrate diversity. Tinderbox and Amazing Harmonies have partnered over the last few years to provide access to musical instrument tuition to children in the local area.

In September 2020, a new incarnation of this project began as Jenny, Sam and Liam from Tinderbox began providing keyboard and guitar lessons online via Zoom to the children of Amazing Harmonies. Along with Dave, the administrator of Amazing Harmonies, the team met with 11 children and young people on Monday evenings from September to December. The groups were full of big personalities, so although none of us had ever met in person, there was a great sense of fun and camaraderie throughout.

Several different pieces of music were learnt across the term, all chosen by the students. This included Someone You Loved, Coffin Dance and Jingle Bells. Across the term, we were also working on putting together a video of Wannabe by the Spice Girls. Everyone was recorded over Zoom playing different parts of the song, and it was edited together into a video interspersed with clips of everyone dancing and having fun. As it was December, we decided to make the song our own and turn it into a Christmas version, adding some sleigh bells and answering the question of what we really really wanted for Christmas! The video got a great reaction when it was shown at the Amazing Harmonies online Christmas concert, and is available to watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAWfjxSasVw

It has been fantastic to see that several of the young people who came to the lessons have chosen to continue their learning by joining the Tinderbox Saturday morning online music school, which recently started back up again for 2021. I’m sure I speak for the whole team when I say we are very proud of everyone who attended the lessons and hope to see them again soon!

Games & Festivals: A Conversation with David Martin from Hidden Door

 

David Martin is an artist, educator and founder/creative director of Hidden Door Festival in Edinburgh.
In 2009 David started a project called Hidden Door with the aim of supporting local musicians and recent art graduates by bringing art and music together in creative events. This grew into a multi arts festival that set out to create opportunities for emerging artists and innovative projects, creating unique experiences for audiences by temporarily transforming disused and abandoned spaces in Edinburgh for the annual festival. The volunteer-run festival is built on a DIY approach that maximises inclusion and community engagement, and has won plaudits for its creative use of spaces and bringing places back to life, in particular the magnificent Leith Theatre, which had been abandoned and derelict for 25 years, and now after Hidden Door’s work there, is used as part of the International Festival and other highly significant cultural events.
 
Hidden Door continues to adapt creatively, running a regular online “live show” during the pandemic, continuing to create opportunities for creative practitioners to develop new projects, and is looking to deliver an innovative live festival in 2021.
 
David continues to make art and leads the Foundation Course at the Leith School of Art.
