Volcano, the new piece I created with Comakid with wonderful cello performances by Lily Hope, is being presented as a sound installation for loudspeakers and vibrating floor at the Attenborough arts centre in Leicester today, as part of the Aural Diversity Workshop 5.

You can find out more about the piece and listen to it here:
https://www.ninadanon.com/volcano

The webpage also contains a listening guide, letting you know what to expect from the piece and highliting potential triggers for people with sensitive hearing, misophonia etc.

This is my first time writing one, so I'd really appreciate the feedback from fellow #neurodivergent and #auraldiverse people (there's a link to a feedback form on the listening guide).

This is the first piece I wrote as part of my investigation on the #auraldiversity of #Neurodivergent #musicians for my #PhD at Goldsmiths.

If this is something that interests you, I have written a blog post about our creative process on this:

@actuallyautistic I was just listening to this fascinating conversation between Harry Thompson and Paul Micallef (Autism from the Inside): https://youtu.be/dCBtAABsSVQ

It starts with a brilliant conversation on #AutisticMusic and #AutisticCulture, with discussions on PDA and instrumental practice, playing as stimming, #autistic #PDAer creativity, and even a wonderful insight into Harry's synesthesia and its influence on the creative process.

I highly recommend it if, like me, you are interested in #NeurodivergentCulture and #NeurodivergentMusic!
