International Synth Design Hackathon

Design and build your very own sound experiences in this unique collaborative event run in conjunction with Belfast-based sound art collective, Tone Burst. Using the very latest technology, you’ll be free to explore your creative ideas, with help from the team as required. All materials and equipment will be provided and no technical experience is needed, although a passion for sound and music-making is, of course, essential!

Supported by Cycling 74, Electrosmith and Synthux Academy, this event will give you the run-down on a range of cutting-edge digital fabrication technologies, including 3D printers and laser-cutting machines. Come along and see what sounds emerge!

THU 2 FEB – ACCIDENTAL THEATRE – 8PM, £5
BOOK HERE
Handmade Music is a brand-new experimental music night in Belfast specially curated by Moving on Music and The Sonic Arts Research Centre (SARC).
Taking place on the first Thursday of the month at Accidental Theatre, the evenings will feature well-known artists, lesser-known artists, and surprise guests – all performing music from the edges of their craft.
You’ll hear ‘never-before-heard’ music, and music that may never be heard again. A big element of the night is about community and space for experimental/improvised music to exist…and seeing what comes out the other side.
Sets are short, there is time to chat and space to move around. It’s £5 and BYO.

Hear Yous – Same Place @ Sonorities 2018

In the summer of 2017 a group of artists based in Belfast formed UMBRELLA. The group is a collective that aims to promote arts practices related to sound, listening and aural environments. Meeting monthly at the Sonic Arts Research Centre, Queen’s University Belfast, the group seeks to collaborate on new works and present public events that feature aurally-engaged artworks.

The latest work/works from the group is ‘Same Place‘ which will be exhibited at the Sonic Arts Research Centre (SARC) as part of Sonorities 2018.
