The Sound and Tuning of Glass Workshop with Edward Schocker

  • Chabot Space and Science Center 10000 Skyline Boulevard Oakland, CA, 94619 United States (map)

Have you ever rubbed your finger on the rim of a wine glass? Do you remember the surprise and excitement when it made a pure pitch? Join Edward Schocker, a composer and co-director of Thingamajigs, in an interactive workshop on using glass to make music and sounds.

  • Discover how your fingertips become sensorial antennas to the pure tones of the glass and how the transmission of these vibrations affect our bodies.

  • Explore why glasses can be used to make incredible sounds and how to use glass and water to explore natural tuning systems.

  • Create your own scale and tuning with a large set of glasses and water.
