Creative Practices and Percussion
Join Lisa Schonberg (composer, percussionist, and ecological sound artist) and Noah Landow (Founder and CEO at Macktez) for deep dive into the world of drums, percussion, and rhythm.
In her work Lisa documents soundscapes, insects, and habitat through music composition, writing, and multimedia collaboration. This conversation will draw on Lisa’s work, which has included the design of music composition systems, research on ant bioacoustics with entomologists in the Brazilian Amazon, sound studies with landscape architects in Oregon,,and music composition concerning Pacific Northwest old-growth forests, Hawaiian endangered bees, fungi, and plastics. She has also taught drums for most of her life and is the author of “The DIY Guide to Drums,” a non-intimidating and playful illustrated instruction book for the drum kit.
Join us at the Macktez office, after work, over light snacks and sips, for a thought-provoking discussion on essentials of drums and percussion in music, concepts and applications of rhythm, and examination of the recent evolution of electronic recording, sampling, and sequencing.

A bit about Macktez, and why we host this series
Macktez is a technology consultancy collaborating with organizations going through dynamic change.
Our goal is to form a lasting partnership between our team and our clients, so we can anticipate their technology challenges and help them navigate growth, disruption, and other evolving conditions.
Each event in our Tête-à-Tech series is an opportunity to explore a specific cultural, scientific, historical, and personal issue. We fire at the synapses that connect each topic to other fields of interest and to our individual lives. And we do so in a comfortable environment to facilitate conversation that can be casual, surprising, and illuminating.
