ACTIVITIES LINKED TO THE RESIDENCY

Gamelan workshop and visit Barcelona Music Museum:
The importance of coordination and synchronicity in our line of work leads us to visit the Music Museum. There, we are given a theoretical and practical class on the gamelan, an ensemble of instruments from Indonesia played by several people simultaneously. In our case, there are more than fifteen of us playing at the same time. Finally, we make a short visit to the museum.

Workshop to build a simple Befaco synthesiser:
In the school technology classroom, we do a workshop of three sessions led by Befaco. The workshop enables us to learn more about electronical sound production and build an instrument that is very popular today, a synthesiser. Following the instructions of the teachers from Befaco, the pupils all assemble and solder their own synthesisers.

Short performance at the school during “Cultural Week”:
We use the resources we have learned about over the academic year in a short performance of directed improvisation in the hall. The audience is made up of third and fourth year secondary pupils at the school.
