SUMMARY:DMLab London Meetup
DESCRIPTION:DMLab London is a meeting place for makers & disabled musicians\, a space to explore musical potential and get hands on with kit. It is a partnership between Drake Music\, Graeae and Music Hackspace to bring together disabled musicians with technologists\, to imagine\, hack\, design and build new accessible instruments and technology. This could be redesigning a traditional instrument\, hacking recording kit to make it more accessible or creating something ground-breaking that we can’t even imagine yet. Big or small\, a fully-formed idea or just a glimmer\, all are welcome…the floor is yours and the doors are open. \n \nThis relaxed social event will give you the chance to pitch your idea or request – however big or small – for a new accessible musical instrument or piece of kit\, to meet up with other musicians and makers\, and to listen to talks by two inspirational women. \nOur two speakers\, Jo-anne Cox and Dani Clode will open up their practice and share their ideas and challenges – one is a technologist advancing new ideas for artificial limbs and one is a musician imagining new ways for audiences to interact. \nJo-anne Cox \nIn April 2019 Jo-anne Cox held the first scratch performance of her show Defiant Journey – the sonic saga of a musician and her electric ally\, navigating the highs and lows of life as a neurodivergent artist. \nThe show involves interaction with bespoke designed audio to light and music technology\, designed by creative technologist Charles Matthews. The audience can also get hands-on with Vibrotactile technology designed by VibraFusionLab and made by disabled artists from Together! 2012 in East London. \nIn this presentation Jo-anne will talk about the process of developing Defiant Journey\, from initial ideas to first performance. The presentation will cover the Aesthetics of Access\, the benefits of multi-sensory engagement and discovering audio to light\, music tech and vibrotactile tech as a tool for: \n\ncommunicating hidden disability\nchallenging recovery mode and austerity politics\ninvolving audience as equals in immersive and interactive storytelling.\n\nAll technology on the project was designed with access in mind and there will be opportunities for you to try it out …. that is if you dare to play the bed bug ipad! \nDani Clode \nDani Clode is a product designer from New Zealand and a MA graduate from the Royal College of Art in London. \nHer main project\, the Third Thumb explores human augmentation and prosthetic extension. Dani is currently developing the project further with neuroscientists from the Plasticity Lab in the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at UCL\, exploring the boundaries of neuroplasticity – seeing how it can be harnessed to improve the usability and control of prosthetic devices\, and how our bodies and brains adapt to material change. \nDani also collaborates with The Alternative Limb Project\, designing sculptural prosthetic arms that challenge the perception and boundaries of prosthetic design\, incorporating new materials and design processes to extend the human form. \nShe is interested in exploring how she can work with Disabled musicians in the future and will talk about these projects and open up discussions on ideas and inspirations for collaborations. \n  \nThis will be a relaxed event and there will be a quiet space available with comfortable seats. There is step-free access to the venue which is located on the ground floor of Somerset House. It is fully wheelchair accessible\, with an accessible toilet (no hoist). There will be BSL interpretation provided for the two speakers. To book a ticket for an assistant or access support person then please use the ‘Pay What You Can – £0’ option. \nThis meetup is brought to you by Music Hackspace and Drake Music.  \nThe venue is located on the ground floor of Somerset House and is fully wheelchair accessible with an accessible toilet. If you have any other access requirements\, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate them.

SUMMARY:Livecoding Meetup
DESCRIPTION:Our Livecoding meetups are a series of informal\, participatory meetups focusing making music with code. While these meetups are open to any language that can be used for livecoding\, the host primarily holds expertise with TidalCycles. TidalCycles is an open source\, accessible livecoding platform. These events are very loosely structured\, with occasional short talks and performances. \n \nNo programming experience is necessary for these meetups. They are free to attend\, open to all abilities and are an excellent opportunity to learn how to start making music with code. We encourage you to bring a laptop and headphones to make the most of the meetup. There’s no need to have come to the previous meetups to come to this one. \nLivecoding\, in this context\, refers to using code as a means to make music or produce generative visuals. \nTidalCycles can be downloaded for free here. If you have any problems with installation we’d be happy to help out in the meetup. If you’re keen to develop your Tidal knowledge beforehand\, there are plenty of great resources available. See our document of resources for independent learning here. \nThe meetup is organised by Music Hackspace. \nIf you have any questions about this event please contact info@stagingmhs.local. \nPhoto by Antonio Roberts (http://www.hellocatfood.com/)

SUMMARY:Ritual Laboratory #6; a technology to transform consciousness
DESCRIPTION:We continue our series of participatory rituals throughout summer. Based on the 12 mythic Labours of Herakles. Forming part of an ongoing research and development project\, each event considers the relationship between sound and movement performance\, and altered states of consciousness.  \nEach session of the laboratory focuses on balancing a sequential zodiacal energy. We begin with Aries – The Head (Thoughts) and work down to Pisces – The Feet (Deeds). The summer series includes: \n28th May – Gemini (Polarity) \n25th June – Cancer (Intuition) \n31st July – Leo (Expression) \n30th August – Virgo (Cultivation) \nIn each session we will utilise a variety of techniques that function as rites of passage. \n \nThe embodiment of each myth functions as an interface\, to construct the components of ritual form\, and to explore the subjective impact of trance inducing use of sound\, movement\, light\, scent\, and embodied narrative. \nEach Labour of Herakles as narrative score\, catalyses a dialogue between musicians and performers\, facilitating an immersive experience of the myth. These 12 Labours share significant parallels with the astronomical movement of the Sun\, projected through the symbolism of the zodiacal constellations in a calendar year. Harnessing the cyclical changes in our natural environment as a basis for structure and objectivity\, we aim to fall into rhythm with the cycles of the natural world.  \nAn experimental laboratory of 12 events. No prior knowledge required. Everyone welcome!  \nWe will begin each session  by sharing a discussion regarding the symbolism of the myth\, and how the Labour will play out. Secondly we explore features of trance induction\, hypnotic phenomena and their role in creative practice. Lastly we will perform the myth together\, and share feedback afterwards. \nInstrumentation will vary as we explore the intersection of traditional trance instruments and contemporary production tools. \nThis series is organised by Nicole Bettencourt Coelho. Nicole is a qualified Hypnotherapist\, practicing Sound Therapist and member at Music Hackspace / Somerset House Studios. Presently working with the composition of improvised choreographic score by drawing from her experience as a touring session musician\, to foster an interdisciplinary approach. Conducting an investigation at the intersection of traditional therapeutic instruments and modern production tools\, she is investigating the ability of sound and ritual form to support and direct the transformative power of performance. As well as generating dialogue around the sociological impact of evolving tools on culture and fulfilling creative practice. Current studies focus on communal performance in the context of astronomical myth\, as a technology to transform consciousness. Combining archetypal symbols and storytelling with therapeutic and artistic applications of intuitive sound and movement\, to induce and support inward journeys within a collective experience. Using a variety of techniques to consciously compose and utilise alternate states of awareness\, she seeks to create opportunities to foster a healthy relationship with the creative impulse on an individual and collective level. \nForming part of her therapeutic practice CURVE ASC\, she is currently exploring the interplay of energies moving through the body and the cyclic rhythms of the environment in the context of herbalism. Hosting a series of seasonal sound baths with local herbs. This being an embodied study of the natural rhythms of the dialogue between body and eco-system. A reciprocal dance through time. These are opportunities for reconnection\, restoration and reflection. \nThe venue is located on the ground floor of Somerset House and is fully wheelchair accessible with an accessible toilet. If you have any other access requirements\, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate them.

SUMMARY:Creative Electronics Laboratory with XNAME
DESCRIPTION:This workshop guides participants in the construction of a small robot animated by sunlight. After a brief introduction to the rudiments of electronics\, the focus is on building a small oscillator soldering all components directly on the microchip. When hit by lights\, the robots emit sound. When connected to a speaker they turn into a synthesisers that can be modulated with intermittent and coloured lamps. According to the components selected and the creativity of each participant\, every bot will be unique in sound and appearance.  \nAll the necessary components will be distributed at the beginning of the workshop\, and every participant can keep the synth built. No previous experience in electronics is necessary to take part in this workshop. \n\n \n  \nXNAME is a musician and instrument designer. You can find out more at her website (contains flashing lights). \nIf you have any questions about this event or any of our workshops please contact workshops@stagingmhs.local. \nWe can offer a student discount of 10% off this workshop. Please email us for a discount code. \nThe venue is located on the ground floor of Somerset House and is fully wheelchair accessible with an accessible toilet. If you have any other access requirements\, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate them.
