YURI LANDMAN & WORKSHOP ORCHESTRA + CAMERA´s members

After having built their own electrified strings instruments in a 3 days workshop at Liebig12, workshop´s participants will be directed by Yuri Landman as a big noisy orchestra blowing our imagination and ears away.

Yuri Landman is a flying dutch builder, designer and inventor of electrical strings instruments spreading them around the world and through brilliant musicians.

Workshops, concerts and lectures became his method to create communities around his work and his musical approach.

As a scientist, Yuri tried to find out how you can calculate the pitch of tones and how to manipulate them. So he came up with instruments on which you can tune your overtones!

From the building of those instruments, Yuri developed into a musicologists, where he concentrated on micro-tonality and came up with a consonance theory based on physical laws. He is also a comic-book writer/drawer, for which he got a prize in 1998.
