Cornwall lies at the far southwestern edge of the British Isles, a peninsula jutting into the Atlantic. Falmouth (Aberfal), a port town at the mouth of the River Fal, inspires artists yet remains far from the cities usually named as centres of artistic innovation. Being on the edge can bring precariousness and risk, whether geographical, economic or cultural, but also the potential, and need, for innovation.
Edges run through all musical work: the limits of hearing and headroom, restricted budgets, and the limits of bandwidth, processing power, tools, bodies and time. They are also the fringes of disciplines, the boundaries between human, machine, instrument and more-than-human, and the places where we make and listen to music.
