Experimenting with Found Sound & Writing
Create music with found sounds, body percussion, and poetry. No experience needed. Collaborate and take home a unique group recording.
Creating and recording a musical background with found sounds and our bodies (hands, mouths, feet!) as well as a poetry / spoken word / abstract word pieces, the workshop is both a collaborative process and an introduction to recording and sound creation. The workshop is open to all, regardless of previous experience (or no experience at all!) and each participant takes home an mp3 of the collective work created.
LAL has been performing and recording for over 20 years and has been conducting sound workshops all over the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). They provide workshops that utilize anti-oppression and feminist practices. Respect being key in how they work with community.

FACILITATOR INFO
Rosina Kazi and Nicholas Murray are LAL, the Toronto-based protest electronic duo that has built a career out of daring audiences to be their best selves, loudly. Coming from the worlds of hip hop, punk, electronic and experimental music, LAL blends those influences into the smoothest, richest shake that will enliven the mind, body and soul.
Their beats and melodies can charm the most cynical club head, softening them up so that the lyrics of anger, sadness and possibility can worm their way deep inside. They celebrate their 25th year, as a duo with the album and short film called SPECTACULAR and will have their new album called A PRACTICE OF LOVE, out in summer 2026.

REFUND, NO-SHOW, & RUSH LIST POLICY

Our new ticket type invites you to Pay What You Can Afford (PWYCA) which means that you can choose an appropriate level and where possible, help to offset community members attending at a discounted rate. Levels are decided by you based upon your income and financial flexibility and are not verified at the door.
