Playing plants with Angélica Negrón on October 8
Check out Puerto-Rican composer and multi-instrumentalist Angélica Negrón’s use of unconventional instruments and electronics at the Lane County Farmer’s Market Pavilion from 11am-1pm on Saturday, October 8. This interactive demonstration features the Ototo capacitive sensing technology — which converts anything (including vegetables!) into a musical instrument — as well as a demo of the MIDI Sprout, which translates biodata from plants into music. You’ll be able to try this hands-on and interactive activity yourself!
