Work with electronic composers from MESS to create whooshy, gurgling, grinding soundscapes for our new interactive BOX MACHINE! Summer art installation!
MESS is Melbourne’s own Electronic Sound Studio with years of experience creating electronic sound. Join in and be a part of the exhibition!
You will:
• Learn about electronic sound and how to use synthesisers
• Create sounds and music inspired by old and contemporary laundries and washing machines
• Enjoy making art in the beautiful surrounds of Abbotsford Convent!
* Be sure to return the Convent in January to listen and dance to the final soundtrack during the live exhibition.
For people aged 6-16 years
BOX MACHINE! is a new large-scale and interactive exhibition for children and their adults. Giant, heavy-duty cardboard laundry machines, pipes, cogs and taps, line the Magdalen Laundry ready for children to connect and deconstruct like giant building blocks. Child-created soundtracks run continuously in the background of exhibition.
BOX MACHINE! Exhibition dates:
4 – 25 January 10am–2pm
Closed on Mondays
