Textunes Meetup at SoundLAB
Join us for a playful presentation of Textunes at SoundLAB.
What is Textunes?
Textunes is a set of textile instruments, created by Michelle Vossen, Roald van Dillewijn, and Dianne Verdonk. What makes it unique: it converts the electrical signals from textile sensors into music.
There is great potential in textile as a material for (co)creating music; it is accessible to the body and pleasant to the touch. It has a lot of playful qualities and works intuitively.
What is SoundLAB?
SoundLAB is a music laboratory, located within Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ, with more than a hundred specially designed electronic and acoustic instruments created by artists, composers, and instrument builders.
The meetup
In this meetup we celebrate Textunes as the newest addition to the SoundLAB instrument collection!
During the meetup, we invite you to play on the remarkable instruments, such as the Dato DUO, Toonpad, Formonium, the MODi and of course: Textunes. With these instruments, you will create a completely newpiece of music together with others.
In addition you’ll hear from the makers what motivated them to create this instrument and what challenges they’ve faced in the process of developing this instrument.
The program is as follows:
15:00 - 15:45
Walk-in and play
15:45
Welcome and introduction to SoundLAB by Temo Gonzalez
Panel talk with Dianne Verdonk, Michelle Vossen and Roald van Dillewijn about the process of developing Textunes and more broadly the potential and challenges of using textile instruments in education and on stage.
Followed by Q & A from the audience
16:30 - 17:00
Drinks and more playfulness

This year’s edition of Tactology Lab is curated by Vincent Schoutsen and Dianne Verdonk and is about ‘MOTION’.
In this fourth lab, participants have been experimenting with materials and electronics to lower the bar of transferring bodily movements into (electronic) artistic expression.
You are very welcome to experience the always remarkable results of these collaborative processes in their joint performance at Rewire festival.
Location: The Grey Space in The Middle
Free entrance!
TACTOLOGY LAB MOTION MEETUP
Are you curious what to expect at Tactology Lab? Or do you just want to get inspired by this labs’ curators Vincent Schoutsen and Dianne Verdonk on the theme? Come to this meetup and connect with other makers, programmers and performers.
TACTOLOGY LAB #4 OPEN CALL

Sonic Suit - DIY Wearable sound controller workshop
Are you a musician, performer, designer, coder, dancer, or a curious maker who loves mixing sound, movement, and wearables? Then join us at the Sounds Like Touch Makerspace for a unique hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to build your own interactive sonic garment using sensors, sound design tools, and your body.
This workshop is taught by multidisciplinary textile artist Federica Terracina, visual artist and robotics expert Gioele Villani and sound designer Francesco Zedde and facilitated by Sounds Like Touch.
Workshop program
The SONIC SUIT is a interactive garment prototype with a focus on movement sensors and sound design. In this workshop, you will design and realize your own sonic accessory or garment. We will prototype with sensors and microcontrollers (ESP8266 D1 mini) and experiment with sound triggered by touch, movement, proximity, light. As output, we can modulate sounds in Pure Data, tweak samples and effects in Ableton, or send MIDI signals to (modular) synthesizers.
This workshop is for musicians, costume designers, performers, technologists, sound artists, and all curious nerds. You are welcome to join whether you're a beginner or more experienced.
Join this workshop
What to bring
Please bring your laptop and lunch (we’ll provide snacks and coffee/tea). Materials are provided but feel free to bring your own garments to transform. After the workshop, you’ll have a rechargeable sonic accessory ready for performance, installation, or parties.
