For the first time this year Chorlton Arts Festival has its very own Artist in Residence, Phil Ogg.
Phil will create a soundtrack of Chorlton during the Festival and present it for us. We are seeking suggestions for sounds that Phil might record during his residency.
The soundscape installation will be in an empty shop unit in the Precinct Centre, which will be open from Wednesday 26 May.
During his residency as part of the Chorlton Arts Festival, Phil will be mainly located adjacent to the Festival Hub in the precinct, next to Boots. On Saturday 22nd May from noon to 3pm there will be an open session during which you are invited to meet the artist, ask questions and hear some work in progress.

We have had Phil Ogg, our Artist in Residence with us for a week, and now it is time to delight you with the fruits of his labours.
Come and see Chorlton Soundscape, in the Festival Hub (next to Boots) in Chorlton Precinct.
Phil has been recording some of the community’s favourite sounds from around Chorlton. You may hear sounds you recognize, and some you don’t. You may hear the sounds that were your personal contributions.
We’ve transformed the empty shop into a gallery space to showcase Chorlton Soundscape and an assocaiated Chorlton film projection too…will you be able to tell where it is?
Preview: Tuesday 25 May 5.30-6.30pm (use side entrance between Quality Save and Boots )
Exhibition open: Wed 26 – Sun 30 May 10am – 4pm (free)
