Listen for five minutes without judgment.

LAwaBO

Sound is everywhere. It hums, whispers, crackles, and creaks. Sometimes it's loud, other times almost inaudible. During LAwaBO, young explorers ages 9 to 12 spend five days diving into the wondrous world of sound. Not to make 'proper' music, but to experiment, listen, build, and make noise with anything that can produce sound.

LAwhat's that?! LAwaBO is a five-day journey of discovery through the wonderful world of sound.

Come and play recklessly with sound; our noise lab is here to listen adventurously. We’ll capture underwater sounds, jump on effects pedals, and mess around to our hearts’ content. Did you know that real sleuths close their eyes? That your favourite colour has a sound, too? That every playful soul has a composer within them?

LAwaBO means five days of rustling and roaring, creaking and cracking, hearing and noise, listening and browsing. Listening has never been this exciting… So prick up your ears and join us on a hunt for sound. This isn’t a music academy with instruments – we’d rather produce sounds with, say, a bicycle, a winding pipe, or a bag of chips.

Who can join?

LAwaBO is for everyone aged 9 to 12. Creativity and enthusiasm are what matter most. No musical or technical knowledge is required at all (but don’t worry – if you’re already familiar with music or technology, you’ll definitely find plenty to enjoy too).

Do it yourself, think outside the box, experiment, tinker, and above all, have fun.

By whom?

Experienced sound artists from aifoon guide children in exploring the limits of their hearing and their imagination. They learn to listen with all their senses, discover how sound moves, and learn that silence can sometimes be the most exciting sound of all.

Want to create your own noise? Schedule a LAwaBO and discover all the sounds you can hear when you really start listening. Email us for more info!
