ELEVATE Festival 2025

Workshop - Sound-Making Objects

Guest production

This playful workshop is about the DIY creation of sound objects. Using contact microphones and simple electronics, participants will transform everyday objects into instruments that are not limited by the expectations of traditional music.

The workshop assumes that music – and the act of creation – is not the preserve of trained professionals, but a human activity in which anyone can participate.

It is an invitation to explore the infinite possibilities of sound and to express one's innermost feelings and experiences through an experimental, unbound medium.

The workshop ends with a small performance by all participants on their sound objects.

Workshop leader: J ‘Mo'ong’ Santoso Pribadi
