Drone Lab & VoicePlay + Open Projector
Fri, Oct 16, 11:00 PMA two-part experience - drop-in or out anytime! **VoicePlay**: An exploration of expression and improvisation using breath, voice, and embodied play led by Mela Closs - 7 PM **Drone Lab + Open Projector**: Experiment with what you’ve learned, make sounds, show video art, or just lean back and enjoy - 8 PM **Learn more and register [here](https://www.delightfactorynyc.com/events/drone-lab-oct2026).** ### Voice Play We’ll start with a drop-in version of VoicePlay, a safe space to play with voice as a tool for authentic expression and playful improvisation. Come explore your embodied expression in this joyful hour of somatic and vocal exploration and experimentation. We will play with vocal improvisation, relaxation of the body, deep listening, traditional somatic practices and connection with the inner sounds waiting to be expressed! We begin with stretches, breathing exercises, and vocal warm ups to relax the body and open the flow of expression. We then move to a playful voice exploration, creating a safe and brave space to play with voice and movement as tools for healing and expression as a group, including unpitched sounds. We will explore and be silly with the curiosity of the inner child. The workshop concludes with a group voice and movement improvisation, bringing us directly into Drone Lab where you can play with and implement what you’ve learned. Bring a water bottle and wear clothes for movement and dance. ### Drone Lab + Open Projector An ambient music jam with big-screen visuals in a beautiful space. Play, vocalize, project, or just lean back and enjoy. Bring your gear - synths, laptops, instruments, pedals - and plug in, or play the venue's. Visual artists, VJs, and live coders: bring your laptop and project. Sign-up slots for visuals. Sound makers just drop in. Watch, listen, and let the room shape what emerges. Part performance, part sound meditation, part jam. Bearded Twin provides a foundation of drone and visuals. You come in and add to it. **How to join in:** * **Music:** Open to everyone, anytime during the event. Bring your instrument or use ours. * **Visuals:** First-come, first-served slots (20 minutes each, or more if there’s room). Bring your laptop. **The vibe:** There’s no setlist, no headliner, just a free-flowing mix of collaboration, exploration, and tuning into one another. You can participate or lounge in the cozy space and take it all in. Feel free to move between the main space, bar, or backyard art installation anytime. No intermissions. Shoes off. ### Schedule (drop-in/out anytime) 6:45 PM: Doors open 7:00 - 8:00 PM: VoicePlay with Mela Closs 8:00 - 8:30 PM: Introduction of instruments (arrive early if you want assistance with equipment beyond plugging into 1/4” mixer, HDMI) 8:30 - 10:45 PM: Sound and visual improvisations 10:45 - 11:00 PM: Framing and closing ### Suggested donations VoicePlay: $20 Drone Lab: $20 VoicePlay + Drone Lab $30 Funds directly support artists and venue. Choose your price point, it’s entirely up to you. Consider where you are on the spectrum between struggling to maintain access to basic needs and financial security/wealth. ### Q&A **I’m bringing gear, what do I need to know?** **Amplified instruments or synthesizer**: We have five mixer inputs, three of which are stereo, 1/4”, and power supply. If your gear is more complex than a simple plug into the mixer, please arrive 15 mins before the event. **Video**: We have an HDMI cable hook-up. **Can I bring an instrument?** Yes, or you can use ours. We have a piano, Rhodes, and various hand drums and percussion instruments. **Is everyone free to play what they want?** Yes, Drone Lab is an improvisational night with open participation. The intention is for it to be more meditative than cacophonous, so we reserve the right to do volume control. **What if there are lots of people wanting to plug in at the same time?** If demand is high, we’ll do what we can to make sure everyone gets to play. **Is there a drone sound foundation to build on?** Yes, facilitator [Bearded Twin](https://www.beardedtwin.com/) will provide the base drone for the night. **How much time do I have for my video set?** We’ll have a sign-up sheet, each slot is 15-20 mins, depending on demand. If slots aren’t filled, you can do more than one. **Can I just come and watch / listen?** Absolutely! We have bean bags, cushions, hammocks, and chairs for your lounging pleasure.
