T.I.M.E (Together in Musical Expression) is an Essex-based charity on a mission to bring music to everyone – no matter their age, background, or ability.
T.I.M.E hosts a range of music-based workshops including sensory based relaxation sessions which has seen attendees develop musical skills, confidence, and motor & speech development.
The charity spreads itself across the community from schools to care homes to drug & alcohol rehabilitation centres.
One of T.I.M.E’s founders, Marc Barnacle told us: “We regularly meet individuals who are non-verbal, or struggle to communicate their feelings to friends and family. But once an instrument is placed in front of them, they suddenly acquire a whole range of moods and emotions to share with the world.”
This year, T.I.M.E and revolutionary audio-visual artists Strange Pill are now working on a global exhibition with a permanent online installation that will allow users to curate their own musical loops made by those the charity has worked with.
Several of these experiences will be posted online to inspire all from across the world to get involved with music and realise their potential! The essential mix of accessibility, user friendliness, and creative engagement will invite audiences of all abilities to interact and create their own musical fusions.
“It’s this ability to communicate and express, which music enables, that excites us, provides that elating feeling, and drives us forward,” says founder Marc Barnacle. We’re really excited to see T.I.M.E.’s use of music for good in the community and wish them all the success in the future!
