What if a table, a glass bottle or a piece of metal became your next instrument? In this unique workshop, you will create a musical composition in an unexpected way, using everyday objects. Not traditional instruments, but sounds that you discover, build and bring to life yourself.
Using clever technology and playful experimentation, you will work together to build a real music machine. Small electromagnetic ‘hammers’ (solenoids) set objects in motion, making them tap, vibrate and resonate. You decide the rhythm, the sound and the composition.
Good to know
-
During this workshop, you will be working with a real drum machine. The sound can be loud, so visitors who are sensitive to sensory stimuli should bear this in mind beforehand.
- The workshop is suitable for creators aged 8 and over, but just as much fun for adults!
- The workshop costs €2.50 per participant; sign up here
