Description

Can the wild minerals of Cornwall be turned into music? Organised Atoms is a hands-on project exploring exactly that; using crystals, discarded mine waste, and electronics to make noisy, experimental instruments.

Come along over this weekend: dismantle the myths of digital-only music, get up close to galena, quartz, pyrite, and tin-laced ores, examine crystals under microscopes, and build your own circuitry to generate sound. Perfect for families, curious musicians, makers, science lovers, or anyone who’s ever wondered what Cornwall feels like plugged in.

What to expect:

  • Free workshops for all ages, no experience required, just bring your curiosity

  • Experts guiding crystal-hunting, circuit-building, and experimental electronics

  • Beautifully unexpected sounds rising from Cornwall’s geological heritage

  • Time to share ideas, experiment together, and leave inspired
