Boomwhackers: Music by Colour
Boomwhackers: Music by Colour
Boom Time is a drumming event used as an energiser at conferences and meetings, which gets the whole team fired up in no time at all. Each person is given one or two ‘Boomwhackers’ – feather-light plastic tubes that vary in colour and length and produce their own unique note depending on their length. As soon as the music starts, the conference room is transformed into a colourful and energetic concert hall, where each person contributes to the overall sound with their instrument.
Software and timing: Composing together
Special software displays the notes of a piece of music as coloured lines on a screen. As soon as their own colour appears, each person strikes their Boomwhacker against the back of a chair or a table in time with the beat. In this way, many individual notes come together to form a complete composition, with the tempo and complexity adjustable depending on the duration of the event.
A shared sound, a shared experience
Even though each individual contributes just a single note, the result is a complete piece of music in which everyone plays an equal part. This experience works regardless of hierarchy, experience or position, as every Boomwhacker makes an equal contribution to the overall sound. Particularly with large groups, this quickly fosters a strong sense of community, which has an immediate impact on the atmosphere in the room and lingers long afterwards.
