Sound for Performance workshop

Aimed at beginners/intermediates who are interested in using sound in the context of performance, e.g. drag or performance art.

We will explore:

• The conceptual side of what makes a soundtrack effective in performance

• The basics of digital sound, including layering tracks and using effects

We will then put these things to practice by starting to build a soundtrack.

Valeria will be using Ableton to illustrate concepts, however the content is not software specific, so if you already have experience using a different program, feel free to use it during the practical section instead.

Please bring headphones and a laptop with Ableton trial downloaded: https://www.ableton.com/en/trial/

If you do not have access to headphones or a laptop, please let me know by emailing contact.radchenko@gmail.com, they will arrange something for you.
