Announcing Salford Everywhere, an ambitious public artwork project that will paint a video portrait of Salfordians from across the city, projected as giants moving across its buildings, weaving together people and place, produced by @fromtheother._ 🏙️ Created by award winning artist @mfprosier , whose work blends film, sound and community collaboration, Salford Everywhere will culminate in a city gathering at Peel Park to celebrate Salford's people on its 100th birthday. The film will be projected, forming a monumental living portrait that will light up the city this autumn, accompanied by a bespoke live mix from Salford based Radio 6Music presenter and DJ @afrodeutsche #SalfordEverywhere #Salford100 #SalfordCentenary #VisitSalford #PublicArt

“I See You was inspired by Daphne Oram and created through working with samples and the Mini Oramics—an unfinished concept by Oram, later realised by Tom Richards. The track speaks to a quiet, human need to be seen and acknowledged in a tender, unforced way. I’m drawn to the unseen and to lifting up those who feel unseen, having been one of those people myself. This piece gently blends subtle and atmospheric electronics with a sense of childlike joy, creating a playful sound world. It gestures towards a calmer, more restful, compassionate place.”—@afrodeutsche From early theremin stages to tape machines, from Bauhaus theory to the San Francisco Tape Music Center, from ambient’s outer edges to contemporary club futurism, Pioneers reframes influence as active transmission.

✨️ Composer, broadcaster and DJ Henrietta Smith Rolla @afrodeutsche shares her creative journeyfor the Friends Of L.F.Markey series.⁠ ⁠ ⁠"I also used to record letters or rather, audio letters, to friends. It started with my stepdad when he used to go to Germany to work for six months at a time. I sent him cassettes of “we're doing this and that blah, blah, blah”. So, sound and recording sound was there from the beginning. My whole cassette collection was of things my Aunt used to send me. She lived in London while I was growing up in Devon and she'd send me recordings of pirate radio!"⁠ ⁠ Subscribe to the newsletter to read the full interview ✨️ ✨️ ✨️⁠ ⁠ 📸 @leoniefreemanphoto
