This field recording and listening workshop led by Lawrence English emphasizes the importance of active and engaged listening. English encourages individuals to cultivate a deeper connection with the sounds around them, urging them to embrace a more mindful and receptive approach to listening and their sonic world.
The workshop will cultivate technical skills essential to field recording and audio production, and participants will acquire knowledge and expertise while mastering the art of capturing and manipulating sound and embarking on a path of creative exploration learning to cultivate their unique artistic voice.
Guided listening activities will be a means of exploring memory, perception, and subjectivity. Participants will delve into the ways in which personal experiences and cultural backgrounds shape our interpretation and response to sounds. By incorporating elements of introspection and reflection, these listening activities will provide a space for contemplation and self-discovery.
