The Soundscape Ensemble

Do you enjoy exploring and experimenting with other like-minded collaborators? Do you believe that music can be the sight, or sound of a lonely street at midnight, or a garden in full summer bloom?

The Soundscape Ensemble is a new all-abilities workshop, for anyone interested in exploring improvised soundscapes. Every human being produces musical and rhythmic energy in their own unique way, through a combination of breath, vibration, pitch, resonance, rhythm, gesture and more.

The Soundscape Ensemble will use whatever uniqueness participants bring with them. It may be a wheelchair used as a percussion instrument. The sound of someone’s ‘sigh’ creating the swell of a storm about to break. It may be a wild melody that is improvised, a musical instrument used in a whole new way - or the syncopated smack and swish of the palm of a hand communicating in Auslan.

The Soundscape Ensemble will explore, experiment, and improvise evocative sonic creations inspired by visual prompts. Bring yourself. Bring an open mind. Come ready to explore music in new, unusual, and imaginative ways.
