About us
Stamp Music was founded as a creative community to encourage, facilitate and share in the creation and recording of new original music. To achieve this Pete Arthur gathered together highly skilled Songwriters, Engineers and Artists for an initial tour in 1997 and the touring continues today.
Music is the creative undercurrent of our society! It permeates our culture at its heart and bookmarks some of the most important moments of our lives. Stamp wishes to extend the opportunity to all people to create the music that becomes part of our lives and contributes to friendships, families and communities. Music that is vital and current to the needs and voice of participants.
The 90 minute workshops have been specifically crafted to take participants on a journey into the craft and process of Song Writing and leave them with a demo of the song written. Whilst ninety minutes is a short time, it has been proven in over 2000 workshops to be the ideal time to produce a song and to capture the imagination of people from any age group.
Musical instrument tuition has been and still is an important part of musical development, however it is Stamp’s desire to take the next step to the creation of original compositions, thus providing the opportunity to expand on the skills already learned and providing a link to a unique expression of talents and abilities.
Whilst the workshops can be of further assistance to music students, no musical experience is required to be involved. Song Writing is an expressive art form and releases creativity and builds self belief. It also links in well with literacy and team building programmes and outcomes. All people are into music of some description and the writing of a song provides a new and often enlightening opportunity.
From 2005 to today Stamp have travelled over 300,000 km’s throughout regional and remote South Australia, the Northern Territory and into Victoria, to take this experience to as many people as we can As well as the workshops, we have now also have a purpose built studio on our farm (see The Cherry Farm). This studio is the perfect place to work on songs from creation to the final recorded product.
