CreatION Sound is a unique collective of musicians, roboticists, and educators that collaborates to synthesize music and technology in an engaging and accessible way. CreatION Sound presents a series of educational workshops focusing on building robotic musical instruments. This artistic exploration is demonstrated in two public concerts, October 14, 2012 at 7:30pm and March 9, 2013 at 7pm at Bellefield Hall in Oakland.
The first concert introduces the series of workshops presented at the Falk and Waldorf Schools. Children were taught how to apply technology and robotic principles to the creation of music and musical instruments, and display their works in an interactive presentation. The culmination will be a final concert, in which the children will perform alongside IonSound Project. Both concerts incorporate newly commissioned works by local composers, and roboticists will design robots to artistically interact and respond to the commissioned works.
