yorkshire sound women network
Huddersfield
Since 2015 YSWN has established a network for women and girls interested in
gaining skills and confidence in music and sound technology. We’re growing all
the time, with several affiliated groups across Yorkshire – and as far afield as
Malta – who provide a place for sharing skills and advice, finding mentors,
making friends and building communities. In addition, we run a host of projects
devoted to education, network-building and artistic development. We also work
with the audio industry to promote equality, tackle discrimination and increase
opportunities for women and people of non-binary genders. Our workshops offer
hands-on experiences in DJ-ing, live coding, Ableton, soldering electronic
instruments and much more, in friendly, encouraging environments. We’ve hosted
inspiring talks by leading musicians and audio professionals – and we have our
own podcast.
