Workshop: Program your own music device
Thousands of songs, from "Let it be" by The Beatles, to "Don't Forget Me" by RHCP are based on a very basic chord progression -- I–V–vi–IV. In this hands-on workshop, the participants will learn to solder (--> löten ;)) by putting together their own 4Chord MIDI Device, which is capable of generating the 4 chord progression - I–V–vi–IV, immediately allowing anyone to jam along with their favorite songs which use the same progression.
