CPAC Youth Presents ‘Make Music Day’ Residency

Hey there local muso,

Are you an music artist or band in Western Sydney that would love a space to record some sic tunes but you haven’t found the perfect location? Looking to pull your own Beyoncé and film a killer music video but nowhere matches your aesthetic? CPAC Youth have got you covered!

For the worldwide celebration of Make Music Day Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre are opening their doors for a day residency aimed at young, local music acts to create some fresh tunes and/or produce some bomb diggity visual content. We’d like to give you the chance to get some exposure and showcase your amazing musical talents.

Make Music Day is a free celebration of music around the world on June 21st. Launched in 1982 in France as the Fête de la Musique, it is now held on the same day in more than 800 cities in 120 countries.

Completely different from a typical music festival, Make Music Day is open to anyone who wants to take part. Every kind of musician — young and old, amateur and professional, of every musical persuasion — pours onto streets, parks, plazas, and porches to share their music with friends, neighbors, and strangers. All of it is free and open to the public.

CPAC Youth will be hosting a five and a half hour residency at Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, in the Performance Space on the 21st of June as part of the festival. This venue will be set up as a recording studio, with an in-house PA, sound desk and sprung floor.

The day will include:

1. A day long music residency – artist has the space for the whole day to produce a song or track or make a sound work. From 9:00am – 2:30pm.
2. A space to film a music video – we’ve previously done this for our friends at CPAC Youth, The Filthy Teens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zudZAkhgkvs
3. Will feature a live stream a music video, Facebook live, and record it for archiving/documentation.
