Participants will then have the opportunity to perform alongside the artists in an evening concert.
When: Sunday 6 August
Where: ICA, The Mall, London
2pm Workshops
a) Algorave Noise Unit, with Calum Gunn
Algorave is a new musical practice that enables people to make music in real time by typing code: “live coding”. Each workshop is led by a musician who will teach participants how to make and use the unique tools they use to create music.
[Calum Gunn is a musician and web developer whose practice encompasses academic computer music and rave culture and sounds.]
b) Voice Odder Workshop, with Ewa Justka’s Acid Orchestra
Make your own Voice Odder, a unique electronic instrument used to create echoes, delays, reverbs, distortion and world domination. During the workshop you will learn how to make an electronic circuit, how to solder, read schematics and data sheets, use a multimeter and more.
[Ewa Justka is a Polish electronic noise artist, self-taught instruments builder and electronics teacher. She recently received the Oram Award from PRS.]
c) Tape Loop Workshop, with Howlround’s Tape Orchestra
Tape splicing and manipulation is one of the oldest and most powerful techniques used to create electronic music, though one that is sometimes forgotten in the age of computers. Join Howlround to learn their unique approach to recording, cutting and playing with tape.
[Howlround work with magnetic tape in sculptural configurations to loop and layer sound in often dense and haunting compositions.]
7pm - Concert
Live performances by Howlround, Calum Gunn, Ewa Justka and newly-assembled groups from the day’s workshops. There will also be DJ sets from Chloe Alice Frieda and CXLO.
