People often talk about projects, TDC creates objects. Projects are worked on and planned whereas each TDC performance represents a chunk of time (or time/space to be Einsteinian about it) which exists with or without their input. They choose to fill a designated moment with unplanned sound, as an object. The collective, created in Nov 2019, currently consists of 5 members; Charlie Wells, Dave Parker, Matt Wells, Robert Kentell and Susie Jones and being a collective rather than a band means the line up for any object is not pre defined and can consist of all or just some of the members. It is not for the TDC to define the music they play and leave tags and genres to the audience and critics, what else is there to say?

The Noise Upstairs is an improv collective which runs a free-improv night in Manchester. The basic premise is that anyone can turn up and join in by putting their name in the hat. Names are pulled out, ensembles formed, and hearts broken.

The cornerstone of The Noise Upstairs has always been its monthly held improv nights. During these events the audience is invited to participate as performers. By pulling names randomly (literally out of a hat) trios are formed and are given the stage to explore and exhaust their impromptu work. This encourages an open dialogue among musicians and artists, building dynamics that may not have formed organically otherwise. Currently, these nights are run
