Musician Turns Studio into Interactive Sound Lab
8 Mar
Summary
- Exhibition allows visitors to play unique instruments and experiment with sounds.
- The project aims to demystify music creation for all skill levels.
- Visitors can record confessions, which will be transformed into music.
Musician Ayse Hassan, formerly of the Mercury Music Prize-nominated band Savages, has launched an innovative exhibition at Glasgow's Saltspace gallery. The exhibition, running until Monday, centers around her debut solo album, 'Chasing Desire,' released under the stage name Eysa.
Visitors are invited to engage directly with the creative process. Interactive stations allow attendees to use the same instruments and equipment featured on the album, encouraging experimentation with sounds and demystifying record production. Hassan emphasizes that the exhibition is about fostering creativity within limitations.
A unique feature is the "desire transmission" booth, where visitors can record spoken thoughts or confessions. These recordings will be transformed into a collaborative track, blending community voices with electronics and Hassan's vocals. This element highlights her commitment to community inclusion and making the arts accessible.
Hassan, who relocated to Glasgow from London, has collaborated with local designers and printers for the project. Her solo work, unlike her previous role as a bassist, explores electronics, loops, and programmed beats, showcasing her growth as an artist controlling her creative direction.
