Beach of Dreams

ArtCommunitiesLiteratureMusic

TAPE is currently part of an exciting project called Beach of Dreams; we are part of a network of organisations, artists, and communities in a shared mission to explore and respond to the pressing climate challenges facing the UK’s coastal regions. 

We have been working with Jason Singh, an artist, nature beatboxer, producer, DJ, curator, facilitator and performer. He has worked with the likes of the BBC, Tate Britain, and the National Trust to name a few! 

TAPE Sound will work alongside Jason to capture sound from various sources in Colwyn Bay and the surrounding areas to be part of an immersive sonic experience. He will also be looking to capture stories and perspectives from the local community. 

TAPE is proud to be part of this coastal celebration alongside commissioned artists and local communities across the UK!

Have you ever listened to a tree? 🍃

Beneath its layers of bark, tiny electrical signals travel through branches and roots, helping the tree communicate with neighbouring plants, sense potential threats, and monitor water and nutrient levels in the soil.

 

Sound artist, beatboxer and DJ Jason Singh captures these minute signals from plants and creatures, translating them into melodies. For Beach of Dreams, Jason is collaborating with Tape Music and Film and local community groups in The Bay of Colwyn, Wales, to create a bespoke soundscape and installation next May.

 

Last week, Jason joined TAPE Community Music and Film and Reece from the Living Seas team North Wales Wildlife Trust to record sounds from the reef-building honeycomb worm, pine trees and the ancient Llangernyw Yew – Wales’ oldest tree, estimated to be 4,000 years old! 🪱🌲
