MakeON Compass Prax: Sound City — Murmurs & Yowls of Change

Sound City: Murmurs & Yowls of Change

Compass Prax - MakeON 

At the Open Source Hardware Summit in Berlin, join MakeON for a hands-on Compass Prax exploring the changing city through sound.

Using MakeON sound modules and sensors — including magnet, light, tilt, button, lever, and light sensors — participants will create interactive sound expressions shaped by questions, emotions, connections, and urban change.

Guided by prompts, each participant will build a small sonic response to the city. Together, the group will compose a shared symphony of Berlin in motion.
