March 2026 Music Lab/ Mawrth 2026 Lab Cerdd

In this session we will work with composer and sound designer Duncan Chapman to create a sound installation. We will be using a variety of interactive and responsive technologies from synthesizers to wired up tin cans to create sound worlds that are evocative and meaningful.

Music Lab is a creative space for 14–18-year-olds to experiment, collaborate, and push the boundaries of music-making. Whether you're into beats, samples, synths, or live instruments, this is your chance to try new things, learn new skills, and explore the possibilities of music technology.

Led by course tutor Will Frampton and joined by a rotating lineup of guest artists from the music industry, each session gives you the chance to create original music using a wide range of tools — from traditional instruments and voice to found sounds, apps, synths, loops, and DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations).

You’ll get hands-on with recording, editing, mixing, and sound design, blurring the lines between genres and discovering your own unique sound. You're also welcome to bring your own instrument or gear to plug into the mix.

Music Lab is free to attend and open to all skill levels. Just bring your curiosity, and let’s make some noise.

Mae’r Lab Cerdd ar agor i unrhyw un rhwng 14 a 18 oed sydd â meddwl creadigol a brwdfrydedd am gerddoriaeth.

Yn y sesiwn hon byddwn yn gweithio gyda'r cyfansoddwr a'r dylunydd sain Duncan Chapman i greu gosodiad sain. Byddwn yn defnyddio amrywiaeth o dechnolegau rhyngweithiol ac ymatebol o syntheseisyddion i ganiau tun wedi'u gwefru i greu bydoedd sain sy'n atgofus ac yn ystyrlon.

Mae Lab Cerdd yn ofod creadigol i bobl ifanc 14–18 oed arbrofi, cydweithio, a gwthio ffiniau creu cerddoriaeth. P'un a ydych chi'n hoffi curiadau, samplau, synths, neu offerynnau byw, dyma eich cyfle i roi cynnig ar bethau newydd, dysgu sgiliau newydd, ac archwilio posibiliadau technoleg cerddoriaeth.

Dan arweiniad tiwtor y cwrs Will Frampton ac yn ymuno â rhestr amrywiol o artistiaid gwadd o'r diwydiant cerddoriaeth, mae pob sesiwn yn rhoi cyfle i chi greu cerddoriaeth wreiddiol gan ddefnyddio amrywiaeth o offer - o offerynnau traddodiadol a llais i synau wedi eu darganfod, apiau, synths, dolenni, a DAWs (Gorsafoedd Gwaith Sain Digidol).

Byddwch chi'n cael recordio, golygu, cymysgu a dylunio sain, gan gymylu'r llinellau rhwng genres a darganfod eich sain unigryw eich hun. Mae croeso i chi hefyd ddod â'ch offeryn neu offer eich hun i'w ychwanegu at y gymysgedd.

Mae Lab Cerdd am ddim ac yn agored i sgiliau ar bob lefel. Dewch â'ch chwilfrydedd, a gadewch i ni wneud sŵn
