You can connect the textile like pompons, knits or weaves, with the special ‘touch-to-note converter’. Interactive textile designer Michelle Vossen came up with this converter and gives the workshop.
🎧Connect your creation to an app like GarageBand or Synprez FM and the textile comes to life via your phone. After the workshop you can take your own soft keyboard home with you.
The workshop is part of the Day of the Composer programme on Saturday 21 June. During this festival day, more than twenty cities throughout the Netherlands will put their composers in the spotlight.

Musical couture dress by Maartje Dijkstra
The workshop ties in with the presentation of the golden musical couture dress AU-2-MATERIA by fashion designer Maartje Dijkstra. Composer Beorn Lebenstedt made a special composition for the dress. Maartje and Beorn were inspired by the majestic Clay clock, a top piece in Museum Speelklok’s collection. AU-2-MATERIA can be seen and heard in Museum Speelklok from mid-May, make sure to take a look there too.
