On June 22 at 11:00 AM- 17:00 PM
“At this workshop I will talk about sound recording and go through a range of different recording techniques and explain the equipment that I use for various recording situations. I will then talk about my creative methodology and give some examples of how I edit and compose my recordings.
After this I would like to give an introductory talk on ‘acoustic ecology’ and the history of listening to environmental sounds within a critical and social context and also introduce the term ‘sound walk’ which is walking through an environment with a sole focus and consideration of its sounds.
After this I will take the students on a ‘sound walk’. This will be a 1 hour walk through the city. During the walk the students will be asked to remain absolutely silent - focusing on and considering the different sounds, which they hear; after the walk we will return to the classroom to discuss our impression of the sounds, and start to consider how these sounds can be used in general arts practice.”
