If Wet at Southbank Centre – Preview

The second If Wet of 2014 is a special Meet The Makers event, hosted by us and run in an If Wet fashion but providing a platform to showcase the work of the makers of the Wondrous Machines that are currently residing in the Clore Ballroom.

On Sunday 30th March, 2-4pm we will be in the Level 5 Function Room at Royal Festival Hall, before then heading to the Clore Ballroom to witness the instruments in all their glory. We are delighted to present all of the maker: Jules Bushell, Dominic Allen, Lewis Jones, Harriet Lewars.

In the beginning…

Your hosts MortonUnderwood (David Morton and Sam Underwood) believe in the benefit of an iterative process, so each month we will assess how things have gone at If Wet and tweak accordingly. We need to start somewhere though, so here is an overview of what you can expect from the first If Wet:

  • MortonUnderwood – Welcome / Meet Your Hosts / Discuss and demonstrate latest MU sonic research projects
  • Stuart Estell & Simon Gray – Discuss and demonstrate their tuba and santoor “tubstep” project
  • Run What Ya Brung – If you would like to share something that makes an interesting sound, bring it along!
  • Sonic Exchange and panel discussion – Each panellist plays an recent, inspirational sonic discovery – and DISCUSS!

In addition, we will be running an “Honesty Bar”, which will serve hot and cold drinks, booze, home made cakes and other refreshments – all on a donate what you like basis.
