Just a single page with a single 'exhibit' here just now, but in time this Showcase should become a whole gallery of past work we're proud of.

Junk Music, December 2008

The contraption you see (and music you hear) in the YouTube video was put together with eleven S1 pupils over an afternoon and the following morning for our cross-curricular Eco Project, and inspired by the work of the Junkman Donald Knaack. It was a hugely successful exercise creating quite a stir at the time and drawing an enthusiastic response from the Junkman himself when we subsequently told him about it!

In case you can't see the embedded video here or want to rate it/leave comments, you can access it directly at http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YP28fNdtl18. Look out for the random intervention of the school bell at 1:36...

A follow-up handout containing web links and ideas for further experimentation was issued to the pupils, and you can download it from http://www.khsmusic.info/showcase/junkmusic.pdf (213 KB). Perhaps we'll also get that content up here as a regular webpage sometime (along with some of the music composed for our dramatisation of Kidnapped from the last year of the old school in Session 2007–8?), but we need time to get things organised and can't 'finish' the whole website overnight!
