Creative, educational workshops and talks for all ages by Dan Mayfield exploring music and the science of sound 🔊 schoolofnoise.com
- This week we explored creating sound paintings with water whilst listening to water themed music using ‘magic paper’ 🖌️ It was lovely to see people of all ages being creative and having fun mark-making to music 🎨 🔊 Mary Lattimore – We Wave From Our Boats 🛶 #soundart #sounddrawing #markmaking
- 🔊 Hugh Le Caine – Dripsody 💧 #musiqueconcrete
- 🔊 Camille Saint-Saëns – Aquarium 🐠 #carnivaloftheanimals
- One of our favourite objects used in the workshops is the Chladni plate. This slowed-down video shows some areas vibrate (anti-nodes) while some areas remain still (nodes). This results in the sand either jumping off the plate or staying still to create patterns in the standing waves 🔊 #cymatics
- Today is World Hearing Day👂 • Over one billion young people face the risk of permanent hearing loss due to prolonged exposure to loud sounds during pastimes such as listening to music & video gameplay • How we hear in the future depends on how we care for our ears today @who.int #worldhearingday
- A birthday present to ourselves, the Improved Celestina!
