Insomnia Festival, Materialbanken for Kreative Projekt and Tromsø Kunstforening are happy to present the workshop Sound-Making Objects, led by artist J “Mo’ong” Santoso Pribadi.

18th and 19th of October.

12:00-17:00 at Tromsø Kunstforening.

In this playful workshop, we will focus on creating objects that produce sound. With help of simple electronics and contact microphones the workshop will teach participants how to tap into a world of sound. Culminating in a small performance, the workshop will introduce and invite the community to channel a form of freedom in the form of sound through the sound-making object, without the limitations of conventional music.

Bangkok-born and Java-raised, Johanes “Mo’ong” Santoso Pribadi is an experimental music composer and instrument builder. His main area of study is music Nusantara, or the music of Indonesia.

Pribadi started his studies in Western classical music with a major in double bass, but soon moved back to his roots to explore the wisdom of Javanese folklore, He continued his Masters studies in the arts at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts, Surakarta, receiving a graduate degree in music composition. He was selected as a young emerging composer on IRC+ (International Rostrum of Composer) in 2015.
