An Interactive and Participatory Exhibition of Low Register Sounds and Instruments. This exhibition allows visitors to see sound waves, feel bass frequencies, lower the register of their voice and check out some really big instruments. The special exhibition explores the world of bass – the sounds that fall below 262 Hertz on the frequency spectrum as well as the low register instruments that make them. Bass sounds are considered critical in music making with its importance often compared to an engine or compass within music. This highly interactive and participatory exhibition introduces several aspects of the low
register—bass—experience. With the overarching theme focusing on low sounds, the exhibition can also be experienced through unique elements that appeal to the senses of sight and touch.
