Students will be guided to \u201cre-tune\u201d their ears to actively pay attention to the rich aural world around them, to listen actively and imaginatively, and not just passively hear. They will then use their ears, creativity, and new set of tools to create an audio composition using the world around them as instrument.<\/p>\n
The laboratory offers an introduction to:<\/p>\n
\nMethods of directing the ear towards detailed sonic perception.<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n\nThe use of sound to examine the qualities of the surrounding space and a person\u2019s perspective of it.<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n\nMethods and tools for recording the sound environments.<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n\nMethods for organizing and creating a sound library.<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n\nAn historical perspective on sound art and the use of field recordings in music.<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n\nBasics of sound physics and music composition theory.<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n\nPractical approaches to composing music with field recordings.<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\nThe laboratory proposes an approach of immediate and practical application of the concepts and tools, through the development of a final project including contributions of all the participants.<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/i>Target Group<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Any person interested in sound art and, generically, in experimental artistic practice.<\/div><\/i>Structure<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n1st Phase: Introduction to Sound<\/p>\n
Brief historical summary of “musique concr\u00e8te” and sound art and examples of contemporary artists working with field recordings (\u201cphonographers\u201d)
\nPresentation of the basic of sound physics and music composition theory
\nIntroduction to the concept of \u201cSoundscape\u201d<\/p>\n
2nd Phase: Retuning the Ears<\/p>\n
Development and broadening of consciousness on the surrounding space using concentration and relaxation techniques
\nActive listening exercises of the environmental sounds and discussion on their acoustic characteristics
\nCreation of a list of sounds to record<\/p>\n
3rd Phase: Environmental Sound Recording<\/p>\n
Introduction to sound recording equipment. The role of different types of microphones in different sound capturing scenarios
\nEnvironmental sound recording exercises
\nIntroduction to the Audacity sound editing software and its applicability in the post-production of recorded sounds
\nBrief introduction to the techniques of digital audio processing and their use in the manipulation of the recorded sounds
\nCollective discussion, selection and editing of sounds to be used in the final composition<\/p>\n
4th Phase: Composing with Field Recordings<\/p>\n
The participants will develop, at the last day of the laboratory, a brief collaborative sound composition using the various notions and techniques learned in the previous modules. The final audio piece will be publicly presented and, after its ending, a collective reflection session will take place where the results of the workshop and the final project will be analyzed by all the participants and the possibilities for further exploration of the concepts will be discussed.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i>Requirements<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\nIt is recommended that those participants who use some kind of sound editing \/ multi-track software (Cool Edit Pro, Audacity, Logic Audio, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, etc.) bring their laptops. Nevertheless, the sound editing module of the workshop will essentially use the Audacity freeware software.<\/p>\n<\/div>
