A Manchester-based orchestra is still managing to perform together despite being isolated away from one another, with brilliantly uplifting results.
The Kaleidescope Orchestra is using technology to stitch together its various musical parts, from percussion to strings to brass - but this is a long way from your usual classical music.
The orchestra, co-founded by Steve Pycroft, plays house and dance music and has performed at dance festival Creamfields as well as music venues around the UK.
With a plan to post a new video on YouTube every week, the Lockdown Sessions have begun with Swedish House Mafia's Don't You Worry Child, and N-Trance's Set You Free.
The videos have been recorded by each musician in their own home, sometimes in home music studios and others in bedrooms and living rooms.
When the orchestra was first set up, Steve wanted to play venues that weren't typical for classical music - and this definitely fits that brief.
Steve composes the music for his fellow musicians before sending the arrangement round for everyone to play their own parts.
He said: "It's hard, we're missing the social aspect of it. But at the same time, with technology and phones, it's easy enough to put together projects like this.
"It's one thing that's keeping me going, still being able to put together music like this.
"A few of the musicians have home studios, but a lot of the guys are just filming on iPhones.
"There's something quite nice about it all being different qualities of video, it really makes it feel homemade.
"When you're so used to performing in front of lots of people it's hard to keep going - being on your own is a very different experience. But it's the music that keeps everyone's spirits up.
"If we can bring a bit of joy and happiness to people who are stuck inside then job's a good'un!"
