Wells novel, Nautilus follows Nemo and his ragtag crew as they steal a formidable prototype submarine and escape into the Indian Ocean, determined to take revenge on the evil East India Mercantile Company and the British Empire.

Arturia Music Software Demo Tracks

Heather Fenoughty · Arturia Music Demos

I compose short tracks for Arturia demonstrating their software. Some of them are plugins or standalone software versions of classic analog synths, some are made using libraries of sounds made from those synths and others are collections of effects that you can apply to any other sound.

This is genuinely an absolute joy – Arturia makes gorgeous sounds and really playable, full-featured software synths.

Every time I get asked it’s a little bit like Christmas – I can’t wait to get my mits on the sounds and create all sorts of interesting ambient, cinematic music* read more

From Slung Low’s website:

“Signs were spotted popping up all over Holbeck; tales of Holbeck’s glorious past and magical present.

“They were part of a project Slung Low created with members of our writer’s group. Our free writer training scheme that has been running, free, for the last 18 months with Casualty writer Mark Catley and Freedom Studio’s Artistic Director Aisha Khan.

“Holbeck is a brilliant place and we are very proud of being based here. A lot of our work means we have to spend time away (our last two shows in 2016 took us to Switzerland and the RSC in Stratford Upon Avon, we’re often on the road) but where ever we go we talk proudly of our place here in Holbeck. And we want to make more work here, this sign project was part of that ambition. 72 stories, written by residents of Holbeck and wider Leeds, placed on lamp-posts. Inspired by the brilliant, complicated present and past of Holbeck. Audiences were invited to read this magic-real version of the town only if they walked through and within it. read more
