Sound recording and composition

Sound recording and composition

This beginners workshop with Caro C is part of a summer school in music technology specifically setup for girls aged 11-16yrs.

In this workshop, you will:

– be inspired by intuitive and “dare to be rare” music maker Caro C and electronic music pioneer Delia Derbyshire (she made the original Dr Who theme!) with their fun and quirky methods of making music without musical instruments.
– get more confident at recording sounds using a handheld sound recorder
– develop your understanding of gain (volume) management, and capture and transfer of audio onto a computer
– compose new music that is unique to you! Experiment with sounds like creating your own junk funk drum kit sounds using lampshades, dish racks, oven shelves and other random objects
– use Ableton Live to get creative and play around with your recorded sounds to fit with your piece of music.
– collaborate: working in teams you can learn from others, help each other and get inspired

The day starts at 10am and finishes at 3pm. Please visit the website for information on how to register or email me directly.
