  • Kentronica: Kingston University Stylophone Orchestra

    • The Kingston University Stylophone Orchestra (KUSO) is a one-of-a-kind ensemble devoted to the legendary pocket-sized synthesizer.

    Founded in 2019 by musician and writer Leah Kardos, with support from producer Tony Visconti and Dubreq (makers of the Stylophone), the group brings together students, staff, and alumni in playful yet ambitious reimaginings of electronic music classics and original works.

    Their debut album Stylophonika (2022) and follow-up Live to Tape at Visconti Studio have won international acclaim for transforming the Stylophone’s buzzing eccentricities into immersive, atmospheric soundscapes.’

    ART31

    ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

    ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

    The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
