Did you also fall in love with synths, samplers and/or drum machines? Do you have homemade electronic or experimental instruments, or a proper modular system? And would you like to experiment and share ideas with others here? Then our free soundlab is just the thing for you!

In these sessions, we work with all kinds of electronic instruments, whether analogue or digital. Is your instrument your DAW? That’s fine too!

The focus of each session is determined by the instruments and ideas that participants bring to the table at the start.

We’re going for an ‘anything goes’ vibe amongst musical allies, where you can experiment freely with soundscapes, ambient tracks and noise, as well as techno, house, EDM or hip-hop beats… We’ll explore sounds and rhythmic or melodic motifs in the moment, and let them resonate throughout the space.

Please note: this is not a course, but rather a jam session with electronic instruments. Active participation and experimentation are key; facilitator Peter is mainly there to keep things running smoothly and to provide technical support where necessary and possible.

Practical

Registration beforehand isn’t necessary, but is very much appreciated!! These open jam sessions are independent of one another.

Please bring your own audio device or instrument. WISPER will provide a PA system to amplify everyone’s sound. Are you a producer keen to jam along? You can bring your laptop with your DAW and a pair of headphones. Your audio interface, MIDI controller or keyboard, and your favourite gear are all welcome too!

Still unsure or have any questions? Send an email to reindert@wisper.be

Level of experience

Level 2: everyone is welcome, just note that you preferably have a solid grounding and some prior experience with your own equipment. The soundlabs are open to anyone who fancies jamming (electronically) together. So you don’t need loads of experience playing in group – we learn from each other and from the music!
