The PIYN project involves aspiring artists and performers from Auckland's diverse communities, working with the best of contemporary UK talent, to collaborate, create and celebrate. The programme involves capacity building workshops, online and face to face collaborations and master-classes in creativity.

The creative commons EP recorded in a week as part of the Otherside Of The World joint collaboration from the British Council NZ and partners Redbull studios Auckland, and the Roundhouse in Camden has just been released online. Visit the bandcamp site here.     In May 2011 we launched the innovative creative commons project Otherside Of The World. The idea was to create an EP of new creative commons music, recorded between London and Auckland (over each day/night), in redbull studios Auckland and the Roundhouse Camden, and emphasizing the tools available on the internet, and the spirit of sharing and creative collaboration. Each evening was the change over part of the session, when the NZ musicians finished recording, and met the UK musicians by skype to discuss the recordings that were about to happen in Camden. Neither set of artists had met each other, and neither had experienced recording a track together. Viva la creative revolution! We are now able to share the results of the collaboration online. This is a creative commons project. Photos by Scott Sinton.
