Interactive Music-Making Workshops – Join the CEEMI Band!

CEEMI is an innovative piece of technology that turns any WiFi compatible device – a smartphone, tablet, desktop or laptop computer – into a collaborative electronic musical instrument on the fly. It was specially designed for the performance of music by groups of people without prior musical training.

The CEEMI Band will create music together in a series of free weekly collaborative creative music workshops happening this spring and culminating in a public performance. Members of the CEEMI Band will create new music together in a safe and fun environment, through the combined usage of CEEMI, simple games and other creative strategies accessible to all. It will be led by Gil Teixeira, CEEMI’s creator and sound programmer,  and is aimed at teens and young adults regardless of their musical background or skills. The only requirement is that CEEMI Band members must bring along their own smartphone or tablet to every session.

There will be a public performance on a day, time and place as yet to be determined.

Please register HERE.
