Bristol Beacon premieres this week's 'A New Song For Bristol' by Kayla Painter

Bristol Beacon has released a new track as part of its ‘A New Song For Bristol’ project – a new track by electronic artist and producer Kayla Painter entitled ‘Only For Now’

What is A New Song For Bristol?

In Nov 2020 Bristol Beacon launched ‘A New Song For Bristol’, a city-wide project calling out to the Bristol public to submit their experiences of life in Bristol over the course of the last year, through words and music.  

As part of the project Bristol Beacon commissioned six Bristol-based artists to write original tracks, directly inspired or co-created with groups of Bristolians of all ages, developed through a number of special online workshops. 

This week’s track

‘Only For Now’ is a collaboration between Kayla Painter and FLOW Creative, Bristol Beacon's music making club for young musicians with additional needs. Kayla worked with the FLOW group online via Zoom during lockdown, recording sounds the participants found and created from their surroundings.

Over the coming weeks, the rest of the ‘A New Song For Bristol’ tracks will be released, sharing the work of the New Song For Bristol collective and artists and the groups they have been working with.
