What is DMLab?
DMLab is a community of musicians and makers, Disabled and non-disabled alike, who collaborate on cool new ways to make music. Our events are relaxed, welcoming and inclusive.
We are looking for proposals for people to speak or present ideas and projects at these events.
In particular we would like to invite Disabled musicians to talk to the DMLab community in October about their practice and ways they could expand it with technology.
This could be asking for specific help to build an instrument or talking about what you do and asking for suggestions. Please note, we aren’t able to offer space to perform at this event.
Email us now to get involved in October: TimYates@drakemusic.org

Blurring the Boundaries – 29th Oct 2019
Blurring the Boundaries brings the emerging practice of collaborative instrument creation into an integrated dance context.
Through creative, hands-on development, their goal is to establish dialogue between Disabled-artist-led arts organisations and maker communities in the UK and Canada.
The Blurring the Boundary team are holding workshops that connect performers and developers to create digital instruments that amplify movement into sound, light and vibration. They are using technology to explore the aesthetics of access across disciplines and cultures.
Blurring the Boundaries is a cross-disciplinary collaboration between VibraFusionLab (ON), Gift Tshuma (QC), and Charles Matthews (UK). Key partners and collaborators include: Drake Music, MilieuxMake/ Education Makers, and Propeller Dance.
At the DMLab event
At the next DMLab event Charles and his collaborators will deliver a short presentation sharing some of the initial development process which has taken place in Canada.
They will also unveil resources for collaborative instrument development and run an experiment for us all to make a new instrument together.
Then we will have presentations & pitches from musicians & makers.
Access & Tickets
The event will take place at Graeae in East London.
The venue is accessible (full info here), there will be a quiet space available and we will have a BSL interpreter at the session. You are welcome to email us if you have any specific access requirements which we haven’t covered.
Book your free tickets via Eventbrite.
