Sound from inside things - Creative sound workshop

300m3 Art Space will organize a workshop January 30th and 31st 2010

2 afternoons with sound and space by

Diane Morin (Canada)

The workshop is in connection with Dianes exhibition "sailing experiment"
opening on Friday January 15th 2010. See info at main page...

Contact microphone makes audible sounds that we usually do not hear.
They amplify the vibrations within object rather than in the air as other microphone does. During the workshop we will explore how they can be use for field recording as well as a live sound creation tool.

Part of the workshop will be used to present selected audio work from sound art, electro acoustic and site-specific sound installation.

The rest of the time will be for experiment and creation of sound piece, individually or in collaboration. The participant will learn how to built her/his own contact-microphones, hydrophones and pre-amplifiers. Then we will experiment with microphones, hydrophones and contact microphones outdoors (field recording outside the building) and indoors with objects brought by participants – e.g. toys, everyday object etc).

Diane says:

"There will be time for experiment during the workshop, and you are invited to bring on the first day some objects or materials that you would like to experiment with. It could be an object or many objects (toys, small everyday object, which have some mechanical part [or not], they could be made of different material with different surface: plastic, wood, metal, paper, plastic sheet etc.) Even a small container of some liquid or some substance with a granulated texture (salt, rice, etc.) could be interesting."

 

Session 1: Sat. January 30th, 13 – 17
Session 2: Sun. January 31st, 13 – 17
