Touch Boards – Exploring Embodied Instrumentality
Saturday June 14, 2025; 2-4pm | Free, registration required.
Location: Sunshine Coast Art Centre • 5714 Medusa St., Sechelt
Experience the transformative power of Touch Boards as we redefine the role of creativity and community in interactive soundscapes. Together, let’s explore new possibilities in musicality and interactive art.
Join us for an immersive workshop/performance space led by Giorgio Magnanensi. Through sensor technology, wood barks and boards become tactile interfaces responding to touch, pressure, and movement and translating gestures into mesmerizing sounds.
Delving into the world of Touch Boards, we will merge the tactile with the musical to explore new dimensions of creative expression. Embark on a journey to discover how natural materials such as tree barks and wood boards can be transformed into interactive instruments, and participate in a community sound performance.
What: Hands-on Exploration: Engage directly with the manipulation of these touch-sensitive wood instruments and expand your musical and sonic horizons beyond traditional boundaries.
Who: Musicians, artists, technologists, and anyone curious about the intersection of touch, sound, and creativity.
