Festival of New goes online at Snape Maltings

Snape Maltings' Festival of New was
supposed to take place last year,
showcasing projects created during
Residencies at Snape Maltings.

In the event, the live festival was not
able to go ahead, but seven artists
and groups managed to to safely
complete Residencies at Snape
Maltings, whilst a further six have
Residencies planned for 2021.

To celebrate and showcase this creativity, the Festival of New will take place online on 27
February 2021. The seven artists who have already undertaken residencies will present video
snapshots, experiences and documentaries of the work created, whilst the other six artists and
groups will discuss their projects and ambitions ahead of the Residencies later this year.

The festival takes place from 2pm on 27 February 2021. Tickets are free, but you have to
book online at the Snape Maltings website.

The seven completed Residences are:

• Charlie Grey and Joseph Peach: the
Scotland-based folk duo have
developed a new podcast where
guests will bring a basis: melody,
song, idea, chord progression, that
over the course of a one-hour
episode will be developed into a
finished piece of music

• Dom Bouffard: Vengeful Ghost, an
immersive new work for electric
guitars. Intersecting performance, installation and sound sculpture, the work uses
prepared instruments and extended playing techniques in a large-scale surround sound
format

• Letty Stott: Ancient Horns, exploring the visual and sonic possibilities of ancient horns to
create a sound world for new compositions
