Over 18 months, The Sonic Vessel visits 12 towns to give young people aged 10 to 25 free access to high-spec studio facilities and professional audio engineering support. Participants receive dedicated one-to-one mentoring to write, record, release, and perform original music.
Every town residency concludes with an energetic community showcase performance. At each stop, local young artists record one featured track towards the flagship album project, Tendring Soundscape 2027.
