When Sounds Become Music
What does the world sound like when we discover it through the ears of composers? At the sound lab during Bach & now! – Agathenburg Bach Festival, composer Rouzbeh Rafie invites children, teens, and adults to get creative and create new worlds of sound.
The starting point is experimentation: natural materials, everyday objects, and digital tools become instruments; sounds are collected, altered, combined, and reassembled. Step by step, participants develop their own musical ideas and short compositions—beyond familiar listening habits and without requiring any prior musical knowledge.
The Sound Lab offers a playful introduction to the music of our time. It brings together nature, technology, and imagination, and helps us discover that music can emerge anywhere—if we listen closely, try new things, and have the courage to bring our own ideas to life.
Discover, experiment, compose: The Sound Lab invites you not only to listen to music, but also to create it yourself.
