HACKOUSTIC CHRISTMAS PARTY 2021

We haven’t been able to do it since 2018 (!) but at long last the Hackoustic Xmas Party is back! Break out the Santa hats and come down to I’klectik for some instrument building, noisemaking and good times!

We have an incredible lineup – absolutely not to be missed with more tbc!

School of noise
Our friends at the School of Noise run online and offline workshops for children, young people and adults encouraging the exploration of music and the science of sound. They’ll be performing a selection of their amazing instruments and tech, and talking about their work

Videodropvideo
Inspired by Nam Jun Paik, VideoDropVideo is an interactive installation that plays with randomness, video, sound and meaning. How can we piece together the things that matter from the surrounding chaos? Gawain Hewitt and Tim Yates will bring the installation that they made for our last appearance at the Tate Modern in 2019.

The Hackoustic Orchestra
The legendary Hackoustic Orchestra will make it’s return – expect to be astonished by a musical ensemble the like of which has never been seen ?

Howard’s Mystery Instrument
Our regular very special guest Howard Batchen will be bringing along another amazing mystery creation for your delectation. Prepare to be amazed!
PLUS!

Instrument building with Vulpestruments and Tim Yates. The wonderful #BarrysLounge, our resident DJ and Design Thinker!
