I’ve started a journey to soundtrack the lives of the people of Wales, one story at a time… [A THREAD]

👏 What a day👏

This region is an undeniable leader in Creative Technology. The incredible community that came together for Bristol Tech Festival yesterday was a testament to that 🌟

Thank you so much to everyone who attended and contributed, we had a blast!

[1/3] Awwww… I am super SUPER thrilled to announce that I will be at Hay-on-Wye during this year’s @hayfestival for Cymeriad! (Never did I EVER think that would happen! Feeling blessed! 🥹)

[Leigh Davies @SystmsCreative]

This. I've been researching shitloads about "the value of culture" The takeaway is funding arts and culture is not only economically viable it would stimulate the whole country economically and be a way out of the cost of living crisis. Not funding the arts is ALWAYS ideological

@Dorkfeatures It’s heartbreaking isn’t it Lauren 😓. Been going there fortnightly in recent years… Can’t actually process what it’d be like without it.

[Leigh Davies @SystmsCreative]

This 😓

[Dr Rhys Jones @DrJonesWales]

Can we stop calling National Museum Wales ‘an attraction’. We are not at risk of losing a theme park here. We are at risk of losing an institution that offers free education to millions of people and showcases Welsh culture and the National Treasures of Wales to the world.

[Leigh Davies @SystmsCreative]

@S_A_R_Lab Thanks so much Rich! Cannot wait!

[Leigh Davies @SystmsCreative]

Sooo excited to get stuck into this! In a time where AI is (understandably) a divisive presence in the arts, we’re itching to show how it CAN play a positive non-parasitic role. Having it serve our Expression Orchestra in becoming more expressive feels like a good place to start.

[pyka @pyka_wales]

So excited to finally announce this news! We’re thrilled to be selected for @MyWorldCreates @wshed’s More Than AI Sandbox. Through this we’ll be taking The Expression Orchestra to higher heights and deeper expressive depths…

[Watershed @wshed]

@studioplayfool @Pyka_boo's The Expression Orchestra asks - can AI allow those who can’t play an instrument gain access to musical experience? Pyka will create alternative, easy to use digital instruments designed to empower and broaden young peoples’ access to musical performance. (3/7)

[Leigh Davies @SystmsCreative]

It really has been one of the most special projects I’ve ever had the privilege to work on, and I just cannot wait to share the full experience with you all, I really can’t.

[Leigh Davies @SystmsCreative]

…to experience and share with so many people, many of whom I would have never crossed paths with if it wasn’t for this project. Yet, here I was taking a substantial amount of time to really listen to their tales, draw their faces, and soundtrack their lives.
