Join us on Halloween to step behind the scenes of sound and discover how everyday objects can become extraordinary sound effects!
In these hands-on, drop-in Foley art activations, participants explore the creative world of Foley — the art of creating and recording sound effects for film and television. Using a mobile collection of props, instruments, and recording equipment, participants can create their own sound effects for classic, family-friendly Halloween movies such as Mickey Mouse: The Haunted House.
NMC invites participants of all ages to experiment with ordinary objects to create extraordinary (and spooky) soundscapes!
About PlayLab
PlayLab is a hands-on sound playground where young visitors can discover how music works. With interactive stations that feature strings, wind, percussion, and electronic instruments, kids experiment with the building blocks of sound—pitch, volume, timbre, and vibration. Pluck a string, strike a drum, blow into an organ, or shape sound on a synth to hear how instruments create their unique voices. Designed for curiosity and creativity, PlayLab encourages visitors to listen closely, explore freely, and learn how musicians turn sound into music.
PlayLab is made possible with support from the Alberta Museums Association and the Radomski Foundation.
Backbeat weekend programming is supported by CIBC.
