Transformational Times!

Hi friends. After seven years of running rehearsal studios we’re excited to announce we’ve decided to do something else. To provide space for our transformation we won't be reopening the studio for rehearsals or spatial studio bookings. We’re grateful to have met so many wonderful people along the way and look forwards to seeing you out there in the world! Love xo MjF & Erin

MUCH LOVE & VOLUME

Magnet Temporary Closure

Transformations underfoot

Hey dear friends,  It’s a weird old time out there right now, a deep shift is underway. To be responsible for the health of our community, we’ve decided we are going to close up the Rehearsal, Recording and Spatial studios from this Friday 20 March.  We will re-emerge as a physical site for community to gather when the time is right, for the right now we are zooming along - creating a digital platform to share ideas and information.

Radiate Fest

Radiate Festival will also be postponed in it's physical incarnation, as to gather would be irresponsible and run counter to our deep set value of inclusion and safety for all. Now is more important than ever for people to be enabled to connect, learn new skills and ways of being in the world, and managing our collective resources.  We are hoping to use this opportunity to fulcrum deeper learning and engagement with the topics we were/are excited to share with you.  Once again, please sign up to our new mailing list to stay a part of this journey.

Arts and community updates to share! Including: Another New Sound Unwound episode with Motte Sorcha Wilcox Exhibition opening this weekend Summer studio lockouts available & Plant a Tree  Anita Clark (Motte) on New Sound Unwound In this new instalment of New Sound Unwound we speak with Anita Clark, who performs ambient, modern classical sounds under the alias Motte. We discuss the production of her soon to be released album “Cold and Liquid”, the loss of her voice, singing pets and more. Listen to the episode here Exhibition Opening:  Sorcha Wilcox Quantum Art Space: Event Potential in Practice You're invited to the opening of Sorcha's final exhibition for her PhD investigation, Quantum Art Space: Event Potential in Practice, this Friday 18th October from 6-8pm in our Spatial Studio.  "to understand the project one needs to get into it, and cast their own shadow upon it, and this exhibition provides you with the opportunity to do just that."   The practice-led investigation finds the potential of visual material and attempts to re-consider the experience of making through the reflective (creative practice and speculative process) quantum theory. For example, the key quantum concepts, such as the frames of entanglement and formlessness, underpin this practice-led research and press us to think systematically. This has become paramount within the practice-led component of this PhD Project. The project uses quantum as an active participant that provides triggers to prompt ideas within the exchange between an art-work and the viewer and not as a fixed quantifiable moment. This research examines where and how the fields of quantum, philosophy of event and visual arts, intersect and work together, offering a new quantum focus throughout the creative process by directly addressing and deploying the actualities of interactions between processes and events for creative ends. Plant A Tree for $3  There's no denying climate change, and we all have an immense responsibility to act now. Feeling guilty, anxious, powerless? So are we. But remember, no action is too little. We've decided to do our bit by providing the option to pay for the the planting of a tree via our website.  Keep an eye out for the option when you are next booking online, or Plant a Tree here The next day of planting natives is scheduled December 2019, location TBC. Questions, or interested in also volunteering to help? Feel free to get in touch here MUCH LOVE & VOLUME
