This is the fourth in the Scary Bones the Skelton Adventure series. In this adventure, Scary Bones, the Red String and Sasha and Ben enter the magical world of Wareham's Wacky Witches and the Wicked Wizard of Corfe Castle. The children of Wareham have disappeared and the town is littered with sleepy cats and no-one knows why. Can Scary Bones rescue Sasha and Ben from the spell of two very strange and unusual lollipop ladies and defeat the Wicked Wizard of Corfe Castle?

Earworms' new season
Apologies for blogging about our next season when we haven't even had time to upload the photos from last week's Earworms. It's a been a busy week with scary concerts to practice for and our own Exeter Contemporary Sounds date at the Phoenix taking up much of our time and brain space (www.exetercontemporarysounds.blogspot.co.uk)
But - we do have news of new dates. We're very excited to be staying at the Northcott for some more dates whilst also hopefully venturing into other new venues over the course of the next season.
We took quite leap into the unknown when we moved Earworms from the Phoenix to the Northcott Theatre in January but we've been delighted by their support and professionalism and also by the growing following. Financially we took a huge risk, but by the skin of our teeth we've just about broken even - thanks in part to some generous sponsorship from Crosse & Crosse and JojoMamanBebe.
So we've decided to take another risk and plan some more dates. We're moving away from monthly dates - the huge administration task is unsustainable at the current rate and we feel we need more time between events to plan and to publicise well. So we'll be planning six dates between September 2014 and May 2015.
In order to guarantee that we can continue to offer the quality of performers and ensure we can cover the costs, we now need to work hard to attract some sponsorship.
We have a very short deadline of this Thursday (26th June) to get our copy in the Northcott's new brochure - if there are any companies out there who might like to sponsor the whole series and get their name in the Northcott Brochure as well as in all our publicity - we'd be delighted to hear from you! Get in touch and we can discuss what we can offer you. Once the Northcott deadline has passed, and if we haven't secured a sponsor for the series as a whole, we'll be looking for individual sponsors for each event. More on that next week........
Thank you so much for all your support so far - we're really looking forward to building the Earworms' audience even more and we're beginning to plan some really great performances for the coming season.
Please pass the word around to any companies you think might be able to support us - there are some fabulous performers out there who we would love to invite, but we need to have the funds to be able to do this!

Earworms' Jingle by Solarference
Here is the performance of our Jingle by Solarference from our June 2014 concert:
Something old, something new
Hello Earworms
At 2pm on Sunday, Solarference will be live, on stage, at Exeter's Northcott Theatre with a concert specially prepared for Earworms family audiences. Solarference are making adventurous music that marries the newest technology with songs that are often centuries old, and it makes for a fascinating musical journey.
The centre of Solarference are the wonderful voices of Nick Janaway and Sarah Owen. Sarah is known to large numbers of singers of all ages across Devon and beyond through her work as a Community Musician with Wren Music. Nick and Sarah sing traditional songs of England and Wales, often learned by oral tradition or from archival research.
The new bit is the rest of it. Solarference love to play with sound, and find sounds in the unlikeliest of things. You might expect them to turn up with stones, guitar, musical boxes and rolls of sticky tape. The sounds of these objects and instruments are played live, then fed through intricate computer code to weave textures, beats, echoes and harmonies together with the voices. This is really musical storytelling, with the songs and their stories at its heart.
For a taster of the Solarference creative process, have a look at this short video.
I must add that those of you who enjoyed Matthew Shepherd's musical saw playing with the Seat Of The Pants Orchestra back in October in the good old Voodoo Lounge might be lucky enough to hear it again on Sunday. If that doesn't tempt you, then I don't know what will...
...and, what better treat for Father's Day? We'll be there, with our dads. See you there!

We've been enjoying having a little rest since our performance at Earworms in May. Exeter Contemporary Sounds are now also busy preparing their next performance at Exeter Phoenix on July 6th - more details on our other blog - www.exetercontemporarysounds.blogspot.com
We have Solarference performing for us at Earworms on June 15th. Here is a little more information about them. Tickets are on sale through the Northcott box office - 01392 493493 or in person at Exeter visitor info and tickets in Dix's Field.

Solarference ‐ Nick Janaway and Sarah Owen ‐
perform with voices, laptops,
instruments and sound objects. Their work is rooted in a repertoire of
English and Welsh traditional songs, set within atmospheric worlds of transformed
sounds using their own self-designed performance software.
Every sonic detail of a Solarference performance is crafted
and created live, as Nick and Sarah weave together layers of sound and
song. Improvising and responding together, Solarference’s music is born
purely of the moment and place. Their performances are interactive and
theatrical; fascinating live experiences.
Solarference have a track record of collaborating with other
artists including animators, circus artists, dancers and theatre makers.
The duo have just completed a regional tour of their live soundtrack to the
1920 classic silent film ‘Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde’.
Winners of the 2012 Fatea Award for Innovation, Solarference
have been described as “one of the most original acts playing English folk
music” (fRoots magazine). Based
in the South West of England, their unique approach to
fusing traditional folk music with live electronics has been gathering a
growing critical acclaim and their first album, Lips of Clay, was released in late
2012.
Nick, based in Bristol, is a multi-instrumentalist and
songwriter, as well as having an MSc in sound design. Sarah is a
versatile vocalist from East Devon with a background in sonic art and
composition. Solarference is the perfect forum for the two to bring
together their love of the human voice and their fascination with live audio
transformation.
“Crossing into new musical territory, Nick Janaway and Sarah
Owen perform their live electronic folk music to captivated crowds … a
fascinating show."

Festivals for all
“Totally intoxicating. This project has reached a magical
fruition. May mornings will
never feel quite the same again."

Photos from Earworms - May
Last weekend's Earworms featured the team who created Earworms concerts - Exeter Contemporary Sounds. The first time we have played ourselves, we really enjoyed ourselves.
The concert featured music by Steve Reich - Different Trains and Simon Belshaw's Between the moon and the earth - both combining with some lovely film imagery. We also involved the audience in performing one of Simon's Music Machines.
Julian Rippon joined us to sing 'Violin' and to make his debut on the typewriter!
R2D2 probably stole the show - we were upstaged by an inflatable robot!!

Earworms today!
Good morning!
A lovely sunny May morning and we're looking forward to Exeter Contemporary Sounds' performance today.
There will be fantastic music by Steve Reich - Different Trains which we've added some fabulous film footage to. Simon Belshaw's Between the moon and the earth has some truly beautiful images of the earth as seen from near the moon during the Apollo 8 mission. There will also be music by Michael Nyman, Kraftwerk and Leroy Anderson.
We're also welcoming the wonderful Julian Rippon (Bass) who agreed to sing one little song for us and has since been roped into more and more silliness! It's also a bit of a star wars special to celebrate
'May the 4th'!
Tickets on the door. All kicks off at 2pm at Exeter Northcott.
Many thanks to JoJoMamanBebe for sponsoring today's event.

Music Boxes, Music Machines and May the 4th
I've been working on a number of different things for the next Earworms' concert. My piece, Between the Moon and the Earth for string quartet, backing track and film was composed in 2002 and has had several performances since then so requires no work at this stage.
Exeter Contemporary Sounds are currently working on a programme of Machine Music which will be performed at the Exeter Phoenix in July and some pieces that we are going to play will be performed at the Northcott on May 4th.
We have arranged The Model by Kraftwerk for the quartet and Andrew has arranged a Bach Fugue. In our Machine Music programme there is a piece for music boxes and I have made a music box version of the Earworms' Jingle.
Here is a picture of the roll that goes through the music box:
and here is a video of it being played:
Another piece of mine that we (audience included) will be performing on May 4th is Music Machine 1. For this piece you need no musical ability nor an instrument (but having one or both does not exclude you). We will explain more on the day but if you can't wait have a read about it here. If you've got an instrument that you want to bring along please do, it can be a toy instrument, whistle in fact anything that can make a sound. Here are some of the instruments we'll be bringing:
Finally, have a listen to this
Do you know what it is and what it means? The first person to email us the correct answer wins an Earworms' t-shirt!
