Sonic Sandpit @ South Dunedin Community Library

South Dunedin Community Library is marking NZ Music Month with a hands-on series that invites people to get curious, make some noise, and explore music gear in a creative local setting. Held in Te Wāhi Auaha Makerspace, these free sessions open the door to synthesizers, drum machines, microphones, samplers, and effects pedals in a way that feels playful, welcoming, and easy to jump into. What makes it especially good is that it’s not just about looking at the gear — it’s about trying it, experimenting, and hearing what’s possible. Each day also features live experimental sounds from librarians who perform in local bands, adding a strong Dunedin edge and making the whole thing feel more like a creative music hangout than a standard library event. A great one for curious minds, young creators, and anyone keen to explore sound in a relaxed, community-minded space.
