Together Jones and Thorpe will conduct a workshop that will allow participants (young women) to build their own contact mics and use them to turn everyday objects into instruments. At the end of the day we’ll all perform in an object ensemble. Don’t miss it! To participate in the workshop, email your name, phone and age to: la@labotanica.org.

Some words about the musicians:

Bonnie Jones is a Korean-American writer, improvising musician, and performer working primarily with electronic music and text. Born in 1977 in South Korea she was raised by dairy farmers in New Jersey, and currently resides in Baltimore, MD. Bonnie creates improvised and composed text-sound performances that explore the fluidity and function of electronic noise (field recordings, circuit bending) and text (poetry, found, spoken, visual). http://www.bonniejones.wordpress.com

Suzanne Thorpe is a performer, composer, educator and arts-activist who strives for breakthroughs in understanding via sound. She composes site-specific works that employ psycho-acoustic phenomena, aural harmonics and tuned filtering systems that have been presented at Issue Project Room (NYC), Judson Church (NYC), Diapason (NYC), Megapolis Festival (Baltimore), Activating the Medium Festival (San Francisco) and more. http://www.suzannethorpe.com
