This week we explored creating sound paintings with water whilst listening to water themed music using ‘magic paper’ 🖌️

It was lovely to see people of all ages being creative and having fun mark-making to music 🎨

One of our favourite objects used in the workshops is the Chladni plate. This slowed-down video shows some areas vibrate (anti-nodes) while some areas remain still (nodes). This results in the sand either jumping off the plate or staying still to create patterns in the standing waves 🔊 #cymatics

Today is World Hearing Day👂

• Over one billion young people face the risk of permanent hearing loss due to prolonged exposure to loud sounds during pastimes such as listening to music & video gameplay

• How we hear in the future depends on how we care for our ears today

A birthday present to ourselves, the Improved Celestina!

Hello Bluesky! This weekend marks 10 years since our first workshop. A decade of activities, classes and talks exploring music and the science of sound. Thank you to everyone who has participated and helped out on this journey. Here’s to next year when we’ll go all the way up to 11 🔊
