A couple of weeks ago, Me and Ellie aka @MissyCheerio went out for a date. We went to the Petrosains Muzika, just to pay a visit for the Muzika section since I never been there before. But I did went to Petrosains for my 4th time already in total.
I remember Petrosains was already there since I was standard 2 or 3. It's about more than 10 years already. Been there for quite some time and it still rocks.
Ellie was getting very excited about it. She starts to get herself something to play once we got in.
The interior outlook when I walked in Petrosains Muzika. It is very spacious. There was around 24 different types of music exhibits for visitors to see, touch and learn from.
Songs about Us
This is how it’s done. Put on the headphones and run the device on the white dots. The songs will be played & from each dot that represent different countries on the globe you will learn a bit about the singers. There are some info given too about the community there.
It's a very interesting device & I was quite impress about this thing. I think I spend 30 mins just standing there with the earphones in my ear!
Ellie playing the HUGE round piano/keyboard.
Very nice musical symbols decorations above the songs about us device.
Air guitars – The gloves
Ellie loved this. You just have to put on the orange gloves provided and strum an imaginary air guitar. The computer software follows your actions. Then the sound is then produced by a computer system. Go try this and be a rock star for a few minutes! LOL.
Scratching
When I was young I want to be disc jockey (DJ)! Well, that didn’t happen la. But I got to learn how to scratch the vinyl record on the turntable here at the Muzika! So by moving the record (disc) around clock or anti clock wise, different sounds are produced. In real life, this is how they do too! The sounds that is created is then recorded. The end result is an album. Of course in real life production is not that simple.
In conclusion, I think its worth to go in there and experience the muzika adventure. It's just RM6 per entry. There's more stuff to play from what you see here. You'll get to play with lots of music hands on stuff like this one called the giant panpipes! I did played a song 'twinkle twinkle lil star' with it. Video taken using D300s. Watch !
