STILL NOT SURE? [MORE INFO]: Experiencing this event will encourage participants to approach music making from an intuitive, listening-based, open-ended mindset, emphasizing the interactive aspects of the creative process and free expression. Textures and tambres take the forefront of our musical explorations!

Through the incorporation of easy-to-use non-traditional instruments and sound sources like Ableton Push-controlled synthesizers, an analog drum machine, and effects pedals, the intimidation factor of “not knowing how” or “not knowing enough” to make something “good” is lessened or entirely removed, empowering participants to fully embrace their innate capabilities to create interesting musical pieces and performances.
