In this playful workshop, we will focus on creating objects that produce sound. With help of simple electronics and contact microphones the workshop will teach participants how to tap into a world of sound. Culminating in a small performance, the workshop will introduce and invite the community to channel a form of freedom in the form of sound through the sound-making object, without the limitations of conventional music.

SLIM0 invites you to a rock choir workshop! In this session, they will arrange some of their favorite rock tunes into multi-part harmonies. Together with Insomnia Festival, we will create a space where we can blend our voices and harmonize the spirit of rock.
We will engage in group singing exercises and explore various vocal techniques, ranging from full-range singing to shoegaze soft vocals, doom howling and slacker styles. The band will select one of their favorite rock songs from the ’90s, opening the door to a welcoming environment where no prior experience in reading sheet music or singing in choir is required—just a desire to use your voice in harmony with others. Join us in creating a sense of camaraderie and shared musical joy!
