We would like to thank the dozens of people that attended our Nature Connection Sensory Music programme over the summer. Working outside, listening to and with nature and providing spaces for those with heightened sensory needs is incredibly important. This project was the first of its kind for us and we are keen to do more.

This was a project very much instigated by services users and our lead practitioner, Blake Harrison (who features in most of these photos!) and developed by MK.

Our thanks to Barrington Farm Day Service The Bircham Centre, Reepham and Eves Hill Veg Co for hosting and sincere thanks to Norfolk Offshore Wind Farm Community Fund for supporting this project.

We're looking for a volunteer to support our flagship Saturday Group (Saturdays! 10am-12pm).

Joining a brilliant team of music leaders and volunteers, we are looking for someone that is passionate about music, access and inclusion, and who is happy to get stuck in.

The Saturday Group has been at the heart of MK since it was founded in 1990 and remains one of our most popular groups for families and young people.

If this sounds like something you or someone you know might be interested in then please get in touch - we are keen to hear from everyone, regardless of experience or background.

We had such a good time last night.

Huge congratulations to our amazing MK Ensemble for a joyous performance. Their brilliant new album, Adventures in the Microworld, was released yesterday on Bandcamp where you can buy a CD or limited edition DVD of a film made by Jay Goodman (which accompanies the music with macro footage and life in the undergrowth). It’s also available on all other streaming platforms.

Massive thanks to Mr AKA Amazing who treated us to some really great lofi hip hop. We’re very grateful for Duane, Jason and Tom joining us from London (big thanks to 54 The Gate)

Then MKE’s own Luke Saunders gave a performance of his brand new three track self titled EP. It was epic. (Also available on Bandcamp and all other streaming services!)

To finish everyone came together with audience and MK practitioners for some improvised music.

Massive thanks to David Ross Musics, Judy Splodges, Chris Dowding and Charlotte Arculus for their sensitive and playful facilitation of the Ensemble, and for our amazing community for coming out.

We are very pleased to release this EP from Luke Saunders via our Bandcamp site.

Luke has been attending the MK Ensemble since the start and has become an essential part of the group. Luke’s mix of rhythmic vocalisations and MCing bring a totally unique sound and perspective - often reflecting on the broader themes of the ensemble such as space travel and nature.

We hope you enjoy this EP. Please consider purchasing a copy as all proceeds will given to Luke to support more music making.

Electrosculptures! We can't wait to hear what these sound like :)

Another new project :)

Chris and Ian are meeting residents from two residential care settings in Norwich to talk about their experience of music; what it means to them, the memories they hold, what are our favourite songs....

These discussions and group music-making sessions will inform the writing of new songs - songs about music! - that will be professionally recorded and shared.
