Creating Scores with The Record Player Orchestra (Roger Clarke and James Scott Brooks) (part of doing together 25)

Creating Scores with The Record Player Orchestra7th April 2025In these two interconnected and concurrent workshops, participants had the opportunity to create both audio and visual scores, with recordings and visual works as the outcomes.The Record Player Orchestra, led by Roger Clarke, invited participants to explore the sounds on specially created vinyl records and combine these to create short improvisations. In Creating Scores, facilitated by James Scott Brooks, participants transformed the audio recordings of these short improvisations into visual scores using the provided materials.Once completed, the visual scores were then tested by participants returning to the Record Player Orchestra and using them to create new recordings.doing together 25doing together is a yearly two-day making and sharing practice symposium at Locksbrook Campus, hosted by the Art Research Centre (Bath School of Art, Film and Media) in collaboration with Bath School of Design and the Centre of Cultural and Creative Industries.doing together is a platform to connect staff, students, and the community through making, collaboration and experimentation.Workshops, delivered by staff and PGR students from across the University, share practice-based research methods and a broad range of approaches to practice. doing together is proposed as a generous space to make/do/share and discuss practice with colleagues from a range of different Schools.Throughout the symposium, facilitators – alongside participants – test out ways of doing together in an effort to make their practice-based research explicit, rather than simply describe it.
