Sanctuary Coffee Morning Event: Sonic Arts Research Centre

Join us for this free Queen's University Belfast Sanctuary Coffee Morning event on Wednesday, 18 November at:

QUB Sonic Arts Research Centre

Join us at the Sonic Arts Research Centre, a unique resource focusing on the intersection between music, technology, sound and society. 

After a welcome cup of tea or coffee, we will invite you into the Sonic Lab for a demo. The Sonic Lab is a specialist acoustic space designed to provide a unique and exciting listening experience, in fact, the auditory equivalent of an IMAX cinema. Eighty-four loudspeakers, strategically located, will project and move sounds throughout the space, including underneath the audience. 

Following this, Professor Paul Stapleton will lead a fun and informal 1hr music improvisation workshop. The session will be supported by QUBe, an experimental music collective made up of students and staff at Queens. No musical experience is necessary and we will provide all the instruments. If you play your own instrument, please feel free to bring it along!

Please note, it MAY be possible for us to provide interpreters for other languages for those who need it, on request. PLEASE EMAIL MAURICE MACARTNEY to make this request: m.macartney@qub.ac.uk

Please also note, photographs and video may be taken during the coffee morning and used for social media purposes; if you do not wish your picture to be published please inform the organisers.
