Introduction
Sound Without Sight is a new non-profit initiative, aimed at supporting sight-impaired people in the fields of audio and music. We will: showcase blind and partially sighted talent, highlight how accessibility barriers can be overcome, combine collective knowledge, and challenge stereotypes.
Our Focus Areas
We will support the blind and partially sighted community to access:
- Audio production: recording, editing, mixing, etc.
- Music notation: reading and composing, obtaining accessible scores, screen access technologies, etc.
- Performance: instrumental, vocal, speech; individual or group; beginner or professional.
Combining Knowledge
Help us compile a hub of experience and useful advice, to support blind and partially sighted people to engage fully with music and audio related activities.
Showcasing Talent
We will promote the work of our community, providing a platform to get noticed. The project will encourage the sharing of accessible ways of working, to help break down barriers and inspire others.
Community Collaboration
Sound Without Sight’s users will be able to connect, collaborate, and support each other.
