PEOPLE is a steadily growing group of international artistswho have come together to create and share our workfreely, with each other and everyone. It was born out of awish to establish an independent and nurturing space inwhich to make work (generally around music) that iscollaborative, spontaneous and expressive in nature andwhere all unnecessary distractions or obstacles that get inthe way are removed. PEOPLE is for the benefit anddevelopment of the artists involved and just asimportantly, for those who would like to access and enjoythe output. It is as much about the process of makingwork and showing all that openly as it is about the finaloutcome.
