Charlotte Simon

Buttons & Tea. An electronic music workshop for everyone

Workshop

Charlotte Simon presents digital and analogue electronic musical instruments from 1975 -2020 and invites people over 65 (and younger) to experiment, make music and have a go at programming. During the three-hour workshop, Beethoven is run through the analogue sound synthesis machine, while you strut your stuff on the drum machine, modulate sequences as your sip tea or coffee and loop a variegated spectrum of colourful samples. The development of electronic music production has been rapid, eventful and above all entertaining since the creation of the first electronic film soundtrack – “Alarm in Space” (1956) by Louis & Bebe Barron. Charlotte will provide an overview.

Participation is free of charge.

For people of all ages – bit also age 65 and older.

No previous experience required.

If you would like to participate, please send an email until December 3 to ekoenigshofen@gmx.de

The workshop is part of the performance project “Die Vielhundertjährigen” (“The Many-Centenarians”).
