Experimental Sound with Tarek Atoui

We returned to the Maschinenhaus in Essen for another improvisation/sound art concert, this time with Tarek Atoui

Waiting to go in, we found out that Christopher is actually a monkey, Davud might like to move to Canada, and that waiting for concerts outside gets really cold unless you run all around and take at least a hundred pictures.

After Tarek performed, there was a Q and A with the whole audience. The kids were invited to stand at the front and ask a barrage of questions, ranging from 'how does it work' to 'is it hard to play?'

The best question came from an audience member, who asked... "can the kids play it?" Thanks to Tarek for being a super sport and giving the jury both some lessons and a chance to try out his amazing sound machine... 

first, Nick
