Our trip to South Sudan

Here the film maker Simon Dempsey and myself, founder of SoundThread, explain what SoundThread is all about and give an introduction to our pending trip to South Sudan.

Record Production

Technical Training

Our Project in Mexico

In the Summer of 2010 we partnered with a charity in Mexico called Armonía. This charity believes in sustaining indigenous culture in Mexico, by providing education to children from deprived areas. We also spent time with Alejandro Del Valle who is a classical guitarist. We spent a week with him recording some original material for a collaboration project. He has since been over to the UK to play a concert and will be returning again soon for further performances in 2011. SoundThread will be going out again in 2012 to Mexico to continue its work with Armonía, but also we hope to record and produce with Sonex the group from the video below.

Romania Training and Production

SoundThread has been going to Romania for the past 5 years. We have recorded 2 albums and a plan to do further recordings in 2011. We are also part of a annual festival there. We support a charity out there called Neworks who are a group of people are looking to see both physical and spiritual transformation in the communities where we work. This year we teamed up with WigWam Acoustics to offer training aspiring producers and engineers. WigWam Acoustics are one of the largest Sound Design and Instillation, Studio Install companies in Europe.

The problem

Niche-sounding music has always been in high demand. Yet, the musicians who can provide those niche sounds are often from communities who cannot afford to produce their music, or are unable to navigate the infrastructure to reach potential buyers of their work.

Who we are

Soundthread is a non-profit organisation based in the UK that works globally to empower developing creative communities to benefit economically from their musical and cultural wealth.

The Solution

Soundthread provides artists and producers with the technical training to help facilitate their own self-sustainable infrastructure, and encourages an entrepreneurial frame of mind to navigate the opportunities available.
