Babylon Gamelan

This May half term, come along to the IOU Creation Centre, Dean Clough Mills, to meet Babylon Gamelan and get hands on with this tower of noisy joy and sonic chaos.

Standing four metres tall,  made from recycled materials and found objects,  and inspired by the Tower of Babel, ‘Babylon Gamelan is a  joyous mechanical sound sculpture and interactive percussive  installation’.

Created by Rag & Bone artist Dave Young, Babylon Gamelan is a series of mechanical sound sculptures and noise-making machines designed for hands-on exploration and suitable for all ages. Come and join us to touch, drum and trigger sensors, creating a vibrant soundscape through this playful installation at IOU Studio, Dean Clough. 

“Ever since Bablyon Gamelan landed at our Studio during its final stages of development we knew we’d love to be able to host it to the public here at IOU, Dean Clough. Such an amazing, tactile and playful sculpture deserves to be shared with as many people as possible. We can’t wait for visitors to come and experience the joy of interacting with Babylon Gamelan.”Rich Warburton, Creative Director, IOU Creation Centre

Interactive sound workshops and other exhibitions will be announced soon.
