Things I said I'd do (chopped up from proposal):

End up with unique sounds and electronic music created with instruments I will create designed to work with natural semiconductors collected from Cornish mine waste.

* The music itself will document the specific locations and history of the site the material comes from (who worked there e.g. the Bal Maidens, stories we know of the site, its industrial heritage, etc.
* The instruments will be artworks in their own right
* I will use the time to research more interesting and complex musical potential.
* The aim will be to create instruments that focus on this that highlight raw materials using Cornish granite, soldered copper pipes, CNC milled copper circuit boards alongside the semiconducting minerals themselves.
* test these new sounds and prototype instruments in a live setting
* develop existing and new collaborations within this community and further afield
* The instruments would also be designed to be used by other people in future

All sounds, music and designs created will be published online as creative commons and open hardware for others to follow and provide feedback.
