Soundscape Composition Workshop
Short Course Description:
A workshop in live electronic music, encouraging collaborative composition and group improvisation
This course is intended as an open, community ensemble of creative individuals, exploring audio architecture and interactive sound play. We will assemble a sprawling soundsystem of amplified found-objects, turntables, laptops and MIDI controllers, utilized through collective compositional ideas.
Concepts of the urban soundscape will be explored through local field recordings as well as guerilla sound performances around the Baltimore area. Listening and improvisation exercises will be drawn from R. Murray Schafer's HearSing, John Zorn's Cobra, and Karlheinz Stockhausen's From The Seven Days, among other sources of interest to anyone in the class.
In addition to free improvisation and ambient soundscapes, the class will explore layered beatmaking through sample-based production techniques as well as live looping.
Class is open to all ages, and will make use of tactile sound resources that kids and adults can both enjoy in a spirit of common experimentation.
