Sussex music charity partners with Crawley film project to provide a ‘studio space’ to create music

Non-profit music organisation AudioActive has a new studio space in Crawley thanks to an exciting partnership with Crawley Film Initiative (CFI). The new music production Mac suite is welcoming young people from Crawley and the surrounding areas, located at CFI’s hub in Crawley Museum.

Not only is the suite equipped with the latest music technology, but those “who attend free workshops will also be able to use film editing software”, a spokesman from AudioActive said.

The space will provisionally host music sessions led by AudioActive’s professional artists for six months, following on from their previous pop-up space in Crawley.

The music charity launched an innovative hub for their work in the ex-Dorothy Perkins store on Worthing’s high street, AudioActive plans to establish a similar facility in Crawley town centre and is on the lookout for suitable premises.

In keeping with the charity’s Worthing hub, the space would include a music venue, community studio, project spaces and affordable studio space for professional artists.

AudioActive projects running in Crawley from September 12 include; SESSIONS (Lyrics, Rapping, Singing and Production), Equaliser (Music Production workshop exclusively for young women), Room to Rant (lyric-writing and wellbeing workshop for young men) and vocalise (lyric-writing and wellbeing workshop for young women).

These projects follow on from a summer of delivery in the town that led to young artists performing at HMV Crawley, and on an AudioActive stage at Tilgate Park in collaboration with Creative Crawley.
