about

Angela Contucci

I began volunteering for the Joy of Sound (JOS) in 2012; my journey of discovery and self-development continues as a JOS lead facilitator, co-creator and co-leaner. I have advanced together with my peer facilitators and project participants by using improvisational approaches that combine arts, music and various media as means to inspire creativity and to challenge internal and external barriers. My album track is built upon the ebb and flow of sounds that arose spontaneously during the JOS 2015 Springtide session at the Redmond Centre. Being invited to create a track for the Album provided me with a first-time opportunity to experience the process of recording my improvisations, and of capturing my musical expression. I play a variety of acoustic instruments on the track including guitar, harp, harmonica, penny whistle and voice During the improvisations each instrument I played seemed to flow and merge magically into spontaneous melodies and harmonies - creating a rich tapestry of colourful sounds and sonic textures.

During the recording session each moment filled me with exhilaration. I was and remain pleasantly surprised at the end result. Unexpectedly I experienced and discovered new creative energies and impulses within myself, and that I believe exist within every individual. Too often the expression of such creative impulse remains subdued, suppressed or buried due to personal and/or social constraints and imposed limitations. By letting go, facing challenges and taking risks in trying out new creative explorations, I feel opened to an unlimited source of energy that seems to me to be ever-ready and awaiting discovery.
