Sounds of the City: When Potsdam Becomes Audible
In the Potsdam Museum, the Old Market will become a sound laboratory for young ears from 12 years old on October 19, 2026. The workshop combines city history, imagination, and sound design into an audio collage that forms a unique concert experience from voices, sounds, and beats.
The City as a Stage
Starting from the exhibition Platz da! Now we speak!, the participants explore how places sound, affect, and carry memories. The focus is on the urban, on details at the edge of perception, and on the question of how spaces feel from different perspectives. This results in a lively audio journey that goes far beyond a classic seminar.
Creative Sound Work with Garageband
Using micro-voice, sounds, and beats, the young participants create their own sound collages. Working with the Garageband app gives the workshop a practical, contemporary character. Observation immediately turns into creation, everyday noise becomes a small composition, and the city transforms into an acoustic portrait.
A Place with History and Resonance
The Potsdam Museum at Old Market 9 provides the perfect setting: central, culturally charged, and directly connected to urban development. The atmosphere in the house supports a creative approach to Potsdam as a sound space. Those who participate here do not experience the museum space as a silent backdrop but as a lively resonating body.
Well Prepared Practically
The workshop is aimed at young ears from 12 years old. According to the event information, a snack, a drink, and consent for voice recordings are needed for working with voice recordings. The event takes place in the museum, making it weather-independent and conveniently planable for families and young people.
Conclusion: Sounds of the City combines audio play, city exploration, and creative sound production into an inspiring afternoon in Potsdam. Those who enjoy perspective changes, audio collages, and unusual cultural moments should experience this live in the museum.
