EXPERIMENTAL music and meandering walks on the fells may not go hand-in-hand but one Sedbergh DJ is hoping to fix all that.

Step inside the People's Hall tomorrow (Saturday) and you may be surprised to find not tombolas or the town's twinning association but Sound Land.

DJ Andi Chapple and special guest sound artist Jonathan Coleclough are hoping they can encourage music fans and walkers to warm up for a jaunt on the Howgills with some of their sounds rather than the usual light stretching.

Experimental music may conjure images of beardy weirdies getting down with a rusty pipe and a string bow, but tomorrow a beardless Andi Chapple will make a musical response to the landscape that surrounds him.

"I will present slow, layered, rich, meditative, surprising, beautiful sounds that suggest landscapes and our place in them," explains Andi, who also DJs at Kendal bar Eclectic. "Some use plain or processed field recordings, some of it is digital, some was made by groups of musicians or even by sculptures.

"I just hope people will take advantage of the fact that entry is free to come in and listen for a while, go outside, walk or whatever and come back to see what has changed in the music and in themselves." Deep.

Sound Land starts at 2pm and goes on until 10pm. To find out more, log on to www.musicfreakout.biz.
