More than 40,000 years ago, our Neanderthal predecessors
invented the first music instruments from simple objects around
them (bones and stones, sticks and skins…). Nowadays, we use
complicated softwares which make it “easier” to create music.
But some of us still long for the Stone Age simplicity of noise!
Between 5-9 March, students of the EKA will learn to make their
own primitive noise synthesizers with visiting artist Derek
Holzer. Each instrument is a tiny world of its own, using simple
analog computers in combination with found materials, feedback,
sensors and audio inputs to create a unique sound. Even from the
same plan, no two are alike! Tonight we present the fruits of
the workshop, with an additional performance by workshop leader
Derek Holzer (for DIY electronics, speaker boxes and found
objects). More info: http://macumbista.net/?page_id=497
