A special limited vinyl release of excerpts from 'for-Wards' - an exciting contemporary music project featuring ten Birmingham composers including:

JUSTIN K BROADRICK [Jesu, Godflesh, Napalm Death],
PRAM [Domino Recording Company],
GRANDMASTER GARETH [Misty's Big Adventure, Composer of 'Pool Panic' / 'Loot Rascals' game OSTs],
XHOSA COLE [BBC Young Jazz Musician, 2018]

for-Wards is the first ever citywide public music project, multi-artist, multi-genre concept album about Birmingham co-created with 837 participants. (2014 - 2018).

Through soundtrack, electronica, electro-acoustic, minimalism, jazz, library, dubstep and orchestral composition, these tracks take adventurous listeners on a fascinating journey through a diverse modern city-scape.

'for-Wards' was created by one of its composers, Bobbie-Jane Gardner, to explore the sounds and communities of Birmingham, the UK's diverse second city. Each of the ten composers was assigned a district with which they had a strong connection, working with local community groups and residents to build a library of hyper-local field recordings and generate compositional ideas.

These workshops became the basis and inspiration for the artists' works, which were performed in full during a series of live concerts across the city between 2017 and 2018.
