Explore the intersection of musicality and the engineering of electronic music next month in Phoenix.
Celebrate Electronic Music, a weekend of interactive music making and dance, takes place Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 8-9, at the Musical Instrument Museum. The two-day event features performances and curator talks on the historic electric instruments and synthesizers in MIM’s permanent collection, plus an interactive beat-making workshop with a digital sampler.
Look for diverse performances ranging from electronic indie pop to electroacoustic styles and high-energy EDM dance parties. Additionally, the Arizona Science Center will make a cameo on Sunday for a demonstration of how the basic principles of electricity can produce sound, featuring a Van de Graaff generator and a miniature Tesla coil.
