SOUND FACTORY

Discover a whole world of new sounds with Slide Action - a learning and participation show for ages 7-70.

Slide Action’s Sound Factory is a 45-60 minute theatrical show that encourages the audience to discover new music, the trombone and the funky sounds it can make at the ‘Sound Factory.’

Through the unconventional use of excerpts from music written especially for Slide Action, the listener is plunged into a whole new world of cool sounds and ideas, learning about the trombone part-by-part and culminating in collaboratively composing a participatory piece with Slide Action during the show.

The show aimed at ages 7-70, is entirely non-verbal.

Developed in partnership with Britten Pears Arts, City of London Sinfonia & the Philharmonia. Premiered 29th August 2023, Britten Studio, Summer at Snape.

The music featured is entirely excerpts taken from pieces commissioned for Slide Action’s debut album RE:BUILD (available from NMC and all major streaming services).
