Mobile MESS at Convent Kids – Up and Running Workshop

Date: Sunday, May 14th
Time: 12.00pm – 1.00pm
Location: Oratory, Abbotsford Convent
Cost: $16.50 per child. Parent/guardian attends free of charge.

Mobile MESS arrives at Abbotsford Convent! Experience the magic of electronic sound creation in this fun hands-on workshop with MESS (Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio).

This workshop is suitable for: Young people aged 8-12 years and their parent/guardian who have some experience in creating electronic sound on an instrument or device. Young people who have just little experience – noodling with a synth or making sounds on a keyboard – will have a great time in this session. If you’ve previously taken part in a Mobile MESS workshop at the Convent, this is a great next step!

This workshop will walk you through the primary method used in many synthesisers – subtractive synthesis. You will learn the essential characteristics and functions of the modules that turn a simple waveform into a complex waveform. We then apply this learning by using various machines and devices to create our sounds.

Please note a parent or legal guardian must be present with their young person for the 1-hour workshop.

Mobile MESS at Convent Kids 2023 was made possible with the generous support of Yarra City Arts and Abbotsford Convent.
