It’s All About Sounds
This month, the Interaction Lab is exploring the theme of Sounds & Technology, equipping students with the fundamentals of music production and sound design. Our team has organised many events to teach you how to apply sounds to your personal and academic projects. Whether you want to create melodies, engineer app soundscapes, or explore robotic noises for user interaction, we've got you covered.
In perfect harmony with our theme, we are excited for “Luister! We eten” (translated as “Listen! We eat”), a performance that blends technology with sound engineering. Picture this: sound tables transforming a meal into a show for the senses, inviting participants on a journey of culinary discovery like never before. This performance by Fedde &de Carvalho will be brought to the University of Twente, from the 27th to the 30th of May. There are still tickets left!
