Hackoustic invite us this October on another extra-ordinary adventure - an afternoon of play, performance and the connecting and sharing of new sound and ideas within the space.

Composer, sound designer and all-round noise maker, Frazer Merick uses field recording, circuit-bending and instrument-building to create carnivalesque experiences which explore the act of play. He'll be helping us to discover a hidden world of sound with the Photon Smasher, the handmade microphone that turns light into sound. Frazer will turn flashing bicycle lights in glitchy rhythms and colourful LEDs into sweeping melodies


Selena Kay and Cerys Hogg have collaborated as an experimental electronic duo for over five years, collectively performing as KOGG. With roots in classical contemporary composition, jazz improvisation and visual art, the pair create music with off-centre melodies and elastic rhythms using instruments both ‘real’ (MIDI sampling, trombone, drums) and homemade, as well as field recordings and live video.

KOGG will perform music from their forthcoming debut album Mechanista. This features everything from manipulated recorder, sampled vocals and workshop tools to miniature mechanical piano, homemade instruments and excerpts of Béla Bartók’s century-old wax cylinder recordings of folk singers - accompanied by live and sampled video projections.


Join the Hackoustic Orchestra on an odyssey into hacked sound and homemade instruments. Over the course of the afternoon, you will have the opportunity to make instruments with the Hackoustic team which you can then play as part of the Orchestra in a Hackoustic Cacophony the likes of which Leytonstone has never seen or heard!

Join us for afternoon of weird, unusual and unexpected noises and notes, bamboozling and beautiful music from new sources and objects, as we check in again with our favourite community of makers and instrument hackers.

Further event details: Cafe open. An event for all ages. Pay-What-You-Can entry in advance or on the door (£12 per adult suggestion, children free), subject to availability/capacity.
