Make Some Noise | Ipswich
22 April, 2023 - 16 July, 2023
Make Some Noise is a brand-new exhibition at Ipswich Art Gallery for children to explore everyday musical concepts through hands-on open-ended activities and experiential play spaces.
Invent your own music-maker out of everyday supplies, and experiment with materials to make different sounds. Then test your instrument out on the stage – play a solo, or perform with a group of friends. Design your own way of transcribing the sounds you make: how would your music look if you drew it?
Featuring artworks and videos by local and international artists including Seja Vogel, Matt Hsu’s Obscure Orchestra, Johannes Stjärne Nilsson and Ola Simonsson, Make Some Noise is a multi-sensory program that enables children to discover music creation and appreciation in a multitude of ways.
This hands-on exhibition encourages children to explore musical concepts such as pitch, texture, dynamics, rhythm and timbre, and to consider how music and sound are a part of their daily lives.
