Bélaműhely Soundart: Inventing Instruments & Musical Games In Budapest
Would you like to try the Soundburgers, Bicycledrum, Giant Cajon, Jimity, Keyboard Shaker, Ghetto Marimbula, Little Trough, Tiny Burger, Handlebar Pressureflute, Wooden Dog, Paper dog and many other instruments made out of recycled industrial trash? Do you also want to conduct an orchestra playing these instruments? Yes? Then you're welcome to the 'Jurányi Art Incubator Session' in Budapest on Sunday.

'Bélaműhely Soundart' has been engaged in building sound making instruments and inventing instrumental musical games for them since 2007. We experiment with developing musical games and explore how people relate to sounds, music, sound making. We have developed some instruments and musical games in the past few years which are unique of their kind.

Apart from giving concerts and making theatre we offer workshops to children and adults. Topics covered in these workshops include: musical exercises and games; conversations about the genesis and types of sounds, our attitude to sounds and silence; musical, natural and physical sounds; noises; the psychophysical effects of sound waves on human and non-human beings.

During the workshop activities we apply the results of the most recent experiments of sound art, such as the analogue visualisation of sound waves, the information content of the animals’ vocalisation, perception of extra ear-hearing sound resonance and other discoveries.
