Creating Ambient Music
Saturday 24th September 2022
3.30 - 5pm
Presented by Karlin Love
Tasdance, 197 Wellington St, Launceston. Please note limited parking on site.
Tickets $20/$10 on Eventbrite
Improvising music for stillness: for meditation, contemplation, Taize prayer or chant, or chilled-out ambience.
Listening transformed into sound.
We’ll explore drone notes, breath-length rhythms, tension-release, harmonies and chord progression, and friendly modes. We’ll also consider how to be just interesting enough, so it’s neither boring or distracting. Bring your instrument or voice, and your ears.
Supported by City of Launceston

Improvisation for Young Musicians
This workshop has been postponed.
10 - 11.30am
Presented by Di Nailon and Suzanne Turner
Thrive Group - Outside School Hours Care 59D Amy Rd, Newstead
Tickets $5 per child on Eventbrite
For ages 6 - 11 years.
This workshop will provide a number of starting points for exploring musical improvisation. It offers an opportunity to step away from formal music making and notation and create music in the moment. You can bring your own instrument from home (including any instruments that you have made!) or use the ones provided - there will be lots to choose from. Participants and families will also have the opportunity to bring their improvisation skills to the Interweave Arts Organisation Remade event on 26th November and parade with LIMA musicians.

Integrated ArtsPlay by the River
Saturday October 8th 2022
2 - 4pm Ages 16+
Presented by Di Nailon, Karlin Love, Suzanne Turner
317 Windermere Rd, Windermere
Tickets $20 / $10 on Eventbrite
This workshop incorporates both visual art and improvised music making - choose 1 or both as the mood arises. Set on the eastern banks of Kanamaluka / Tamar River you have the opportunity to play with a range of media and music/sound to give form to what you see and hear in this idyllic setting. The workshop will make use of spaces such as an art studio, makers-shed and boat-shed to generate personal, collaborative and integrated arts experiences. The workshop is designed for practicing artists and those who would like the chance to have a go at music and visual art in a safe and supportive environment. Costs cover materials used for take-home inspirations and artistic memories.
Supported by City of Launceston.
Loop da Loop - Introduction to looping in performance
Sunday October 9th 2022
Loop da Loop - Introduction to Looping in Performance
12 - 2pm Ages 16+
Presented by Ben Segal and Joel Roberts
Boags Wizard’s Retreat, 39 William St, Launceston
Tickets $20/$10 on Eventbrite.
Ben Segal and Joel Roberts each have a rich background in “proper” music making, but are also interested in exploring different forms of improvisation and sound enhancement technology.
This workshop will provide a brief explanation of the origins and history of “looping” from tape generated music to its place in the music of today.
We will show a range of solid state looping devices and software to fit any budget and give you an opportunity to go sound hunting and build a group soundtrack.
Take a break at Boags then join LIMA regulars at Free for All at Sawtooth ARI (4 - 6pm) for an improvised performance by Ben and Joel.
