Applications Open For Brownswood’s Future Bubblers Music Discovery Programme4th July 2016:- Applications have opened for the second year of the national music talent discovery project, Future Bubblers. Gilles Peterson and the Brownswood team are once again on the lookout for ten of the country’s most exciting and innovative music creatives producing sounds in tune with their ethos: ‘outside the box’, crossing genres, continents and eras of influence. The successful Bubblers will be part of a year long journey, one that is tailored to their individual needs, reflecting who they are, the music they make and where they want to be. They will be paired with a music industry mentor chosen specifically for them, receive creative development and business insight and promotional assets, all helping them build the self-confidence towards achieving their own artistic ambitions. The Future Bubblers programme will unlock doors, promote creative freedom without commercial pressure and help artists to develop skills and flourish locally. It’s an extension of a musical ethos developed over many years by Gilles and the team. Applications close on Friday 19th August 2016 and the Year 2 candidates will be announced in October. Future Bubblers is open to music creators from across England. Proud to offer a “no barrier opportunity” the team have devised an application process that is simple and accessible and will avoid the often off-putting convoluted and complicated demands of similar schemes. 1. “So You Want to Be a Future Bubbler?” 2. “So You Want to Recommend a Future Bubbler?” 3. “Old School Demo Drop Off” "The Year 1 Bubbler’s have already been making really exciting moves and massive progress", said Gilles Peterson,"I’m sure Year 2 is going to bring in a new group of Bubblers just as full of music magic and potential." Year 1 Bubbler, Revenu, added: "Becoming a part of Future Bubblers has helped me build confidence in my work, which can be difficult when you don't have much to show for it in the early days of 'being an artist'. The experience so far has been tailored to my own creative vision; there's no pressure to make something that will ‘fit' as whatever I create Future Bubblers find fellow artists/labels that it would sit with. A bunch of music I wasn't sure what to do with, now feels like a more focussed path, and it's such a great feeling when you find out artists that inspire you approve."
