THE SONIC VESSEL CIC
A solar-powered recording studio in a shipping container, touring 12 towns across Tendring. Free music production for young people aged 10–24.
A Studio That Comes to You
Music Production & Recording
Skills, Confidence & Accreditation
A Sound Archive for Every Town
We turn up in your town with a fully kitted, solar-powered recording studio. No travel, no fees, no experience needed. Just walk in and make something.
Young people learn to write, record, produce and mix their own tracks using professional tools: Logic Pro, Ableton and studio monitors, guided by experienced Music Leaders.
Every session builds real, transferable skills in audio engineering and digital production. Participants can work towards Arts Award accreditation and leave with work they're proud of.
Each stop leaves something behind: a recorded archive of the town's young voices, stories and sounds, and one original track per town on our album, Tendring Soundscape 2027.
