Transmolecularization: Found Materials Gathering + Instrument Building

This workshop is an earth material based improvisation exploration. Using Sun Ra’s Trans Molecularization theory of sound travel and Yusaf Lateefs method of Auto-Physio-Psychic sound creation, participants will develop their physical experience of sound through communal building of African drum inspired instruments, and, as they are often called, “Jam Sessions”.

This will take place over 2 sessions or gatherings- the first session is for instrument building and the second workshop is for finalizing and a public jam. We will initially highlight those with instruments, then open our jam session to the public. This workshop is exclusively for POC. Allies are welcome to support by providing material (water, blankets, etc) The public jam will be open to all.
