Creative Accessibility Network

CAN will bring live music performances to the next level, transforming them into multisensory events by adding scent, taste, sight and touch.

By adding scent, taste, sight and touch, musicians take their audience on a journey of the senses. A journey through the emotions present within the music. An immersive experience, that offers the audience a deeper understanding of the music. Making the live performances also accessible to people for whom hearing sound is not naturally given, attracting a broader audience than ever was possible.

Four ambitious and experienced European partners are at the helm of this project. Together with selected musicians and sense experts, CAN will explore the possibilities of sensory effects at live music events.

Also, people with certain disabilities are socially excluded from music performances. By adding sensory effects to live music performances, they will become more immersive and more accessible.

Musicians and aspiring sense composers will get a deep insight in immersion, accessibility and sensory effects. Insight they will use to transform their performances into multisensory experience.

CAN will consult with focus groups of people with disabilities to learn more about how they experience accessibility in the performances. CAN want actors in the music and disability sectors all across Europe to join them on a journey of the senses.
