High up here in the turrets of 'go reborn' I can see the space morphing and changing as it has continuously over the past three weeks. And there is a consistent eclectic mix of tunes getting us through the days of art and crafts and inspiration. The 'go reborn' collective finds music such a key player in life in general, and this space overlooking Auld Reekie lends itself so well to a booming sound system or a calming nu-folk pick-me-up.
For much of our time here, we have been lucky enough to be involved with those fine folk at Open Ear Music. Their live stream of up-and-coming and established local talent has fitted in perfectly with our theories on supporting artists and designers in our immediate vicinity. Open Ear are famed for their customised radio stations which was the perfect plan for our pop-up panorama.
Open Ear are great supporters and disseminators of local labels; perhaps their most exciting conection this summer (apart from the 'go reborn' one!) is with record label Surface Pressure, essentially the band FOUND, who had such a hit with their weird and wonderful Cybraphon project at the Festival - a live and emotionally volatile musical instrument maelstrom that had folk weeping for more.
You have precisely four days until the huge and momentous firework party at 'go reborn', with which we shall close our doors and disappear into the dark streets of Edinburgh's underworld to dream up more amazing and mind-changing events for your delectation.
