Children and teenagers work with instruments and objects to massage the audience with sound.
“Touching Sound” is a workshop that explores the physical experience of sound and music. First, the participants - a group of kids and teenagers between the age of 7 and 12 years old - learn the concept of “massage sonore” through working together for a week. They learn to manipulate sound objects and music instruments to create a musical environment that is experienced as a "massage of the ears" by the audience.
As a second step, musicians Tijl Pyrijns and Bert Bernaerts integrate the musical background of the participants to co-create a composition with silence, minimal sounds and spatialization as key elements. This composition is performed by all the participants of the group on the Big Bang Festival in Athens.
