Dance
I want to understand, what is dance music to British people? Or to put it another way, what kinds of sound make them feel like moving their bodies?
Users should submit anything that makes them feel like dancing. It could be a sound, a music video, short clip or ambient sound recorded on their phone, or even some text, an image, or a video.
I’m always interested in the influence of popular music on modern British culture. These influences could be as specific as to the impact of early rock music or club music on people’s clothes and lifestyles, or as macro as to how modern music shaped modern British culture. I would specifically like to know what British people themselves think about these questions. Do they think these influences are in fact a part of their daily lives? Or do they think they are merely marketing strategies invented by the media and music industries?
The plan is to utilize anything submitted by people online as raw materials, then transform these materials to produce a sound collage, and eventually a musical piece. I could also apply a similar artistic process and run the materials through computer programs to produce a video work, using the music as a soundtrack.
