Live Mixing Experience Installation

The Museum of Making Music has just reopened, and now features two installations I designed, and which were brought to life by the museum’s amazing team. My previous installation The Collaborator has been reformatted for the museum’s new Center Stage exhibit while the new piece is called The Live Mixing Experience. It gives young people a simple and hands-on window into what it’s like to mix sound and lights for a show. There’s loads of sound-reactive lighting, combined audio+lighting effects, and a modified motorized-fader controller that ties it all together. Special thanks to SoundTrack Loops for providing the sound content. Below is an excerpt from a story about the new exhibit.

“Moldover, a musician and inventor who helped design the station, says it’s a fun and easy way for kids to get an idea for what technology is used to make a live performance come together.

‘A lot of people admire and revere musicians on stage, but there’s all kinds of technical people behind the scenes that make that stuff happen. And some of that is really fun,’ says Moldover.”
