AHRB APPLICATION
NAME: ANOther
OCCUPATION: Composer
AGE: 22 years X months
FUNDING AMOUNT APPLIED FOR: £6,500
PLEASE WRITE BELOW A PERSONAL STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF YOUR APPLICATION
I wish to apply for funding to complete a new Project that will take about 8 months to complete. It unites both Music and Sociology, and involves the creation and assessment of the personal experiences of all those who take part. There will be SIX identified undertakings as follows:
The first event takes place on January 21st 2008 and there is an event every day (with exception to Saturday 26th) with the final event being on Sunday 27th January.
Performers are free to execute their performance at any point during the day and in each event have to follow through a task. These tasks range from clapping hands once, to simply not thinking about the length of time one will ride a bus for.
Events call for certain times and durations to be recorded and sent to the composer; these timings and durations will go to writing a new piece of music in late 2008.
Event four (supermarket) calls for receipts to be kept, it is hoped that performers will send their receipts to Matthew through the post or scan and email them to
six_events@yahoo.co.ukPerformers should constant
[sic] listen to the sounds around them, they are hearing a very unique composition. Also, anything at all of interest should be documented, if something happens (someone accuses you of acting suspicious, a pigeon sits on your head, you fall asleep, you trip up....) please write this down and email to the above address.
NB: you do not have to take part in every single event, you can choose just one if you so wish
It is particularly important to note that those who take part need only take part in one event - and even then only if they wish to.
When these "experiences" have been suitably logged by participants (who, incidentally, need no experience, qualification, or liaison whatsoever) and fed back to the applicant via email, it will then be possible to use the data as the basis for an entirely new and ground-breaking composition. This will be completed by 31st July 2008.
It is anticipated that this work - including all necessary secretarial and postage expenses - will be easily funded by £6,500.
Please let me know by next Friday how you will be paying the £6,500 into my account.
Yours etc......................
