Is it an ice sculpture? Is it a musical instrument? It’s both! Playable Streets presents ColdVoice, an art installation of never-before-seen musical instruments made entirely of ice, which slowly melt as kids and their grown-ups play them during their sparkling premiere at Family Fiesta.
A sensory experience like no other, ColdVoice invites you to create music by playing instruments made entirely of ice. Experience the chill on your skin as you explore the sounds of real glaciers and polar landscapes, watching the ice slowly melt as you play.
Be transported to Antarctica through light and sound in the acoustically rich David Li Sound Gallery, where families can discover how ice is both solid and fragile in this unique environmental experience. Create ice music and experience the fun and beauty of ColdVoice!
Book a half-hour workshop with Playable Streets facilitators to compose your own soundscapes, or drop in for free play at the end of the day and let the adventure continue.
ColdVoice is part of Family Fiesta’s expedition to Antarctica. Join the penguin parade for an action-packed festival filled with ice play, glacier music, polar camping, krill cabaret, and more! Monash University merges science and the arts, bringing the latest Antarctic research and discoveries to life these school holidays.
After exploring, stop by The Count’s — lunch is sorted with a menu made for hungry adventurers! The Count’s lunch service will be open for lunch from 11am-1.30pm. A coffee van will also be available 9am-1pm.
