Are you 11-19 years old? Here's something special just for you...

We're a venue for XMTR.fm Audio Festival on Saturday 26th September, and we're thrilled to welcome back Modus Arts for Foley Follies!

Foley; noun: Relating to or concerned with the addition of recorded sound effects after the shooting of a film.

We invite 11-19-year-olds to join us between 11am and 1pm on Saturday 26 September. You’ll create your own live sound effects using a range of materials, from pebbles and plastic sheets, to sticks, hot-water bottles, and even celery! All amplified through specialist microphones. 

Watch a film clip, choose your objects and have a go.  The event flips the traditional relationship between what you see and hear on screen. In doing so, it encourages attentive listening, sonic curiosity and understanding of how different materials create different sounds.

Delivered by Modus Arts, a sonic arts organisation delivering sound-based projects across the UK. Modus provides specialist microphones and sound generating equipment so everyone can have a go at creating their own live sound effects.
