Nyokabi Kariũki and Alex Hofmann will present a “Workshop on Body Percussion and Live-Electronics” at the three-day International Symposium on Ubiquitous Music to be held at Derry~Londonderry campus and partner venues between 2nd - 4th November.

This workshop focuses on the artistic perspectives of Nyokabi Kariũki, a composer and performer from Nairobi, Kenya, who uses voice and body percussion to explore the complexities of post-colonial African identity, and Alex Hofmann, a live-electronics performer and researcher investigating questions of live-electronic performance preparation strategies. The workshop encourages participants to actively explore body percussion playing techniques and to develop new concepts for combining body percussion with live electronics.

Information on the conference schedule is available on UbiMus’s website. This workshop begins at 9:30am on November 03rd.
