The Pop Programme

The Pop Program is an additional acoustic intervention to celebrate the failure of capitalism and really make a point! Helium filled balloons will be presented to TM guests to start a mass public pop in the Aula of HKW. This sound will be broadcast live as it bounces off of the amazing grand hall of the HKW and rebroadcast later on radia.fm partners as well as generate an amazing piece of sound for remixing.
