Found Objects and Invented Instruments
The Creative Sound Workshops present the opportunity to approach the world of music in new ways. Sound is used as a raw source; we as music makers will mold and twist this raw source as a sculpture might shape a lump of clay.
The Rotations Series allows participants to interact with a variety of instruments, those familiar and unfamiliar, traditional and invented, all within one piece of music. In this series, we will work with a number of compositions in which the participants are asked to move from one instrument to the next; only until every instrument has been played by every participant is a composition complete. New colors of sound will hopefully emerge as each participant contributes their own unique approach to each instrument. Participants will be invited to submit their own strategies for rotation. All meetings are open to new involvement; participation in the initial informational meeting not mandatory.
That instrument is made out of a potato!
Participants will interact with an entirely new type of orchestra and invent for themselves how each instrument is played.
