The Soundtrack of Ourselves

Master Class with Six Drummers

How do we spark the potential music within a household object? What if the vacuum cleaner sounded like a spring forest or a Porsche Carrero? Is it possible to perform Bolero on a food processor? These are the essential questions Six drummers are dedicated to find the answers to.

Six Drummers explore the sounds of ordinary objects in search for potential music, an adventurous venture based on curiosity and playfulness. The everyday sounds of our lives are approached from a musical perspective, unfolding the object’s hidden potential and making us see our world in a new light.

In an eye-opening and unconventional master class, Six Drummers talk about their conceptual work and the creative process. They immerse themselves in case studies, inspirational material and clips, and share their secret anecdotes - from the unannounced Music for one Ballroom and six drummers at the dinner for Melanie Griffith at the Cannes Carlton, to Music for one golden beetle and six drummers at the Golden Beetle Awards. They describe the challenges of making music with an eight story building or a 10 ton bulldozer, how to play the drums at the bottom of a swimmingpool and using a 100-headed audience as an instrument. They tell the story of how they used a surgery room to make upbeat disco and how their feature film Sound of Noise took six rogue drummers to the red carpet in Cannes and Hollywood Hills. And how traffic, city life and Spanish voices was made into beautiful music in Soundtrack of Mexico City.

This Master class can be extended with a tailored work shop and aims for schools and universities, organizations and businesses that strive to reinforce innovation and creativity,  empower collaboration and highlight the potential of the individual. The cornerstone of innovation is to challenge our preconceptions about the world as we know it. Creative collaboration is the natural habitat of great ideas.
