Music Without Audiences: Displaced Confidentiality #MusicMonday
Do you remember the first concert you ever went to? Or maybe you remember the last time you saw a friend’s weird band at some dive somewhere. Musicians generally love to play in front of live audiences, and for professional musicians, live performance is a very real requirement. But what did musicians do in 2020? Here’s a series all about that very question from Damian Marhulets:
Six-part series called”Displaced Confidentiality”, in which I’m dealing with a question what does a live musical performance means when facing the absence of any audience. This series is my personal exploration into a new kind of musical intimacy which possibly arises when such traditional factors of a musical performance as audience-oriented intentionality, immediate communication or human theatricality are gone. Displaced Confidentiality is a project developed by Ars Aperta – Hannover e.V. and it’s sponsored by the Niedersächsische Sparkassenstiftung as well as Kulturbüro Hannover.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
