A New Song For Bristol – Only For Now
The latest of Bristol Beacon’s six New Songs For Bristol has been released by electronic artist and producer Kayla Painter entitled Only For Now.
Kayla worked with FLOW Creative, Bristol Beacon’s music-making club for young musicians with additional needs, to make the track through a number of special online workshops.
“It was a great experience working with a bunch of creative participants and essentially just throwing everything into the (Zoom) room,” said Kayla.

“What was really exciting about creating a song this way was that I had no idea what we would come up with or how it would go! So it felt very open and shaped by the experience.”
“We had a Zoom call together where we played games, created sounds, jammed, and also the group showed me a track and lyrics they had already been working on. My job as a producer was to take all of those elements and represent them in a track with a bit of my production style thrown in.”

Kayla, who has worked as a composer, producer and sound design artist, has been supported through Gilles Peterson’s ‘Future Bubblers’ talent development program and continues to make a lasting impact on key tastemakers in the UK.
On the final track, Kayla said; “I’m really pleased with how it has turned out. I think you can really hear the different participants’ input in all the different elements. Of course there are obvious bits like snippets of conversations but also just how they all influenced the tempo, the structure, and the wider track.”
Only For Now can be listened to now.
