Living Instruments is a musical composition that uses bacteria, yeast and other living organisms to generate music. By interacting with the organisms and recording the sounds, gas bubbles, pressure, and movements these organisms generate allows the artists to transform data into music, creating a live musical piece.

Two days after a world first at the music venue Le Bourg in Lausanne, Lift participants will be able to discover this collaborative project between London-based musician Serge Vuille (under the umbrella of his project WeSpoke) and members of the DIY biology community Hackuarium.

At Lift, you will be an active part of this performance!
