Tune your ears!
In the sound workshop we will discover noises, notes and tones.
We can not close our ears – we are always hearing something. Even when we sleep our mind recognizes sounds. So that we don’t go crazy we have learned to let most of it not reach our consiciousness. In the workshop we’ll first learn to listen again, to get aware of the abundance of noises and, in the second step, begin to create sounds ourselves.
Connected to the topic „pictures of life“ primarily three elements will be focussed on the workshop:
Audio-Portraits
* putting an ear to someone’s real life
Radioplay
* we’ll make little “films for the ears” with fictional life stories
Sound-Art
* to observe the melody and rhythm of languages and to transform them to universal sound performances
You will get to know basics of audio recording, editing and arranging.
Sessions will be held in both rotating small groups and the class as a whole.
Central to the workshop is the exploration of the nuances of intermediate tones in communication and the fun of discovering these ‘inbetween’ sounds together as a group
