This two-day workshop looks at music through microtonality, psychoacoustics, resources, and communality in music to design and make practical tools and instruments with which musical ideas outside dominant keys and cultures can be nurtured and strengthened.
The workshop takes place in V7, an artist studio complex, where participants will have guided access to equipment for woodworking and 3D-printing. Come and build your own microtonal instrument.
Timo Tuhkanen (b.1983, they/them/he) is an artist-composer, curator, and writer, whose work intersects between contemporary art, music, institutions, instruments, and research into the cultural and historical aspects of touch. Timo was born in Muscat, Oman, and grew in Amman, Beit Jala, and in Jerusalem, they have also lived in France, England, Italy and are now based in Helsinki. Their work is concerned with designing and creating objects, materials and sounds as direct actions and socio-political interventions and resources that try to go beyond nation states, individualism, religion, and colonial hegemonic and patriarchal practices to find queer, fluid non-European objects, conditions, and spaces for experimenting with the real. Tuhkanen is currently working on their project Microtonal Music Studios, a three year project supported by Kone Foundation, which enables artists and creates resources for non-western, post-genre, post-national musical systems, infrastructures, instruments, and thinking.
