The Instrument Garden
The Boredomfighters movement was started by a group of music producers, festival organizers, and educators. They set up immersive studios called “The Instrument Garden” in music festival campgrounds, making music from the environment and building collaborations with strangers. This evolved into a nonprofit operating in schools across the US, bringing modern music-making tools and industry knowledge to kids.
