A few more frames from last week's instrument design workshop at Conservatorio di Trento hosted by the fabulous Raul Masu. Massive thanks to the facilitators @albertoboem @domestf @francescomanentihq @belaplatform who made this chaos possible

Last week at Conservatorio di Trento instrument design workshop. No prior experience required. Questionable decisions encouraged. Projects included hijacking a guembri (from Morocco), a blender guitar featuring a granular synth, a feedback system built with cardboard cups, and a cat puppet that gets progressively angrier the more you pet it. Everyone coded @belaplatform . Nobody cried (much). Mission accomplished, arguably.

We’re thrilled to be part of Feel the Sound, the @barbicancentre exhibition exploring how we experience sound with our ears, with our whole bodies and across space. Running through August 31, the show features a rich collection of immersive and playful sound installations. The lab contributed to the exhibition with two magnetic AI instruments, the Chowndolo and Stacco, specifically revised for the occasion! Giacomo @la.lepre and Nicola @privatonicola were at the opening and found an incredible crowd engaging with the works—jamming, experimenting, laughing, and lingering. #intelligentinstrumentslab #aimusic
