Integrated media (IM) , some research.

Me, Laura, James and Isabell have an idea of a "soundscape map" (a map which you hover over and hear the sound of that area on the map). Which will include musical venues, ambient sound such as open spaces and cafés/pubs and other sounds such as buskers and places valuable to Bristol's city. As well as ending up with a (hopefully aweosme looking) soundscape map, we'll learn a lot about Bristol and it's vibrant music scene along the way.

Our main source of interest for this map is of course the music scene, which unfortunately besides Isabell's good connection with a couple of bands around Bristol and his involvement in the BBC, we know relatively little about something we need to know deeply.

SO the research begins, I must find out about the music scene, how do I do this? As well as google searching the usual "Bristol music scene" etc, I thought I should post in the forum of a community which is very into helping eachother our and sharing, I post in the subforum /r/Bristol of reddit.com and ask for their advice!
here's the link

as you can see "TropicalUnicornSong" appears to be a really good contact to have and offers himself to help us out, he also offers up some good Bristol bands "RIOT:NOISE", and "Los Conios". Hopefully we can get into contact with these guys and use them in our Documentary as well as learning about Bristol and what it means to them.
