Close The App, Make The Ting

Close The App, Make The Ting is a collection of ideas shared by Elijah that began in July 2021, as the Covid 19 lockdowns were ending in the UK. They started as simple notes questioning what the music and creative scenes would look like after being shut down for 18 months shared regularly on Instagram, then developed into a multimedia project that spanned visual installations, an album with grime MC Jammz, a club night and a lecture series that toured the world. The Close The App, Make The Ting book brings together the best of the ideas, and the projects they inspired. This is for anyone producing or thinking of producing creative work, that needs something outside of ''advice'', these are evergreen artistic prompts that will inspire new ways of approaching being an artist in the 2020s.
