A workshop from EMF 2016 by Akito van Troyer

On Saturday August 6, 2016 at in Workshop 2

Musification workshop introduces participants to everyday sounds as materials for musical expression. The focus of this workshop is on using electroacoustic technology developed at the MIT Media Lab to transform everyday sounds into musical medium and to use them to create new instruments and performances. Participants will use sound augmentation toolkits provided as a starting point to interact with everyday sounds to generate ideas for new musical instruments and performances.

As part of the workshop attendees will be able to build their own transducer module to convert things into audio sources. The goal of the workshop is for participants to perform their musical pieces created during the workshop.
