Harcourt House Gallery
3rd Floor, 10215 – 112 Street NW, Edmonton
New Music Edmonton is excited to bring back another installment of Swimming in Sound. Whether you were with us last year, or if this will be your first time, this session will be unforgettable! Whether you want to make sound, or just be immersed in a room full of sound, tonight is the night for you! It’s meditative, creative, fun, and no experience necessary. Surrounded by beautiful artworks, we will turn Harcourt House’s gallery into a breathtaking sonic and visual environment. It’s like a sound bath, except we’ll make the sounds together using drones, and some easy to use instruments and found objects. Over the two hours, Ethan and Ian will lead the process, and attendees can make sound, just listen, or do a bit of both. There is no experience necessary to take part, just an interest in getting together with others to create a gorgeous, unrepeatable sonic environment.
We will have lots of soundmaking things for you to try out, and feel free to bring your own – just look around for anything you have that isn’t a conventional instrument, but makes interesting sounds! Thank you to Harcourt House Artist Run Centre for making this event possible!
This event is 18+. Attendance is limited, and pre-registration is advised.
