SESSION ONE: Introduction to experimentation
This session will introduce the genre, some examples of 4TN guest experimentalists, venues and opportunities where you can show off your work and some of the tools or equipment that you can use to get started. We will work with miRack and Garageband and set these up on your iPad. Attendees are welcome to bring their own computer/mobile device and should consider bringing their own wired headphones to each session
SESSION TWO: Making microphones
This session will have attendees construct their own microphone or hydrophone. From this we can then connect these to DIY instruments or make field recordings. We will then use these samples to make strange and experimental noises with a view to creating your own sound art.
SESSION THREE: All about tape
In this session we will look at the application of analogue recordings to our soundscape. Through investigating tape loops the attendees will learn how to make their own loop tape and use it to create chaotic, ambient drones.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
