Abstract
This article discusses the importance of rethinking our living spaces so that the physical and digital worlds can interact naturally. Based on this premise, and within the field of music education, practices developed at Arabista Ribera de Carcaixent Secondary School’s MusicLAB CR-209 (Valencia) illustrate how new architectures may foster creativity. According to the possibilities that current technologies can offer, this laboratory-classroom has been conceived of as a space for experimentation and improvisation. The purpose of this article is to describe ‘The Interstellar Machine’, an interdisciplinary pedagogical proposal that is based on a musical creation project and that integrates various artistic languages, including technological tools such as the ‘Soundcool’ digital tool. We used a collaborative methodology and show the working scenarios, their design, as well as their development and scenic representation. Participants, a group comprising Primary and Secondary students, along with musicians and teachers, were able to generate dialogues involving images, gestures, voice, and sound, thereby unleashing their creativity with an open and participatory attitude. Our final aim is to provide insights that might inspire other art teachers in the design of similar interdisciplinary proposals, collaborative projects and blending of analogic and digital tools.
