Born in the sub-Saharan and residing in NY-LON, Lula travels through intergalactic planes using sound waves. She will be discussing her work and showcasing her MiMu glove MIDI controllers.

Frazer Merrick and Simon Keep from CLIP discuss how they devise and deliver educational sound art workshops and projects focusing on; improvisation, performance and collaboration. Looking back their previous CLIP projects such as playing Terry Riley's In C, but actually in the sea, and making a sub-bass installation with recordings from Colchester Zoo. They'll also showcase a few creations born from CLIP such as cardboard record players, tape loops, circuit bent keyboards and micro:bit percussion.
