Trash to Techno School Show by Bash the Trash

The ultimate combination of low tech and high tech! In this fun and educational program we take found-object sound sources (trash) and then sample, mutate and manipulate those sounds into danceable beats using science and technology. Along the way we’ll address issues of sustainability and plastic pollution, as well as acoustics and music production. Students will discover how producers work with sound to create sound effects, and how they layer sounds to create electronic dance music.
