HEAR FROM US “Our passion since we started was to bring live music videos to audiences recorded in professional studios using professional equipment. Part of the objective originally was to create a community of people that could collaborate and create new art in the heart of Eastbourne. We are constantly looking for new talent to get involved and join our joint effort in creating enjoyable and fulfilling content.” Luke Hearne-Brown, ESCG Live Lounge creative director. “Being an artist on Live Lounge was both incredibly fun and rewarding. It felt great that I could have an opportunity to display my music in such a well produced series. I’m so excited to see my set make it out onto the channel and I think it’s one of the most fun things I’ve been involved in around the college.” Alfie Akers, (18), level 3 music production student. Live Lounge is truly rewarding. As an artist it feels feel like the community spirit really helps and the fact that students and staff give their spare time to creating these free and near professional quality music videos for an individual musician is invaluable. ESCG Live Lounge is an experience crafted by both students and staff at East Sussex College Eastbourne, focusing on showcasing musical acts from in and around the college. Live Lounge has been an incredible experience. Working with such talented people behind the scenes is, for me, almost as rewarding as being on the show as an artist. As an aspiring recording engineer, having the chance to work with such great musicians, and industrystandard equipment has been an invaluable experience.
