Acoustic Awareness – Build your own recycling instrument and record it!
On this 5 days workshop we build, play, jam and record our own instruments from junk!
How does a can sound played with a bow? What can we use to build our own strings? Initially the idea was to create a workshop giving everybody the chance to have access to music instruments. This workshop is composed of 3 parts:
1) Building instruments
2) Jamming with it!
3) Recording together some tracks we can take home eventually!!
This is the first and unique chance to check out this approach with limited places. So don´t wait too long!
