DriftLab: Youth Ecology Art - with Tasneem Khan

DriftLab: make music by drifting through nature. A hands-on session with Tasneem Khan. After this you will treat every walk like a living transect — every leaf, stone and stem you meet becomes a beat. Touch the world, and it answers back.

What to expect:

• Playtronica turns touch and the tiny electric fields of plants and objects into live sound. Learn to compose some fun dance music with Mark White (from the KingKong Company!)
• Unusual macro lenses clip to your phone so you can film the hidden worlds underfoot.
• Build it into your own music and video — sounds, impressions and footage, mixed live.
• Participate in the creation of a petri dish artwork that represents the shifting temperatures we are witnessing

The people you'll meet and make with.

An evolving network of musicians, artists, curators and scientists — here to make alongside you, not lecture at you.
