Mentor: Liu Pei-Wen aka Pei

Duration: 4 hours

Dates: Tuesday, September 17th, 5pm – 9pm

Location: Ljudmila, Rimska 8, Ljubljana

About the workshop: We listen, we record, we compose and listen again together. For this 4 hours workshop, we will begin with a imagination with visual and/or textual source to rethink how the source without sound would sound alike? And what do we hear? How our listening is paying attention to, and driven by? To be inspired by the subtitles of a hidden dimension, we will explore the potential yet poetic quality of field recording, and the sound objects; of their physical characteristics, originated and situated spaces.

Registration:Requirement for participant: Bring your own audio recorder; digital or analog with capable output cable if you want to transfer your audio to computer. For example, HDD/SD audio recorder, camera with video function or mobile phone. Additionally, a laptop with Audacity installed (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/about). Participation at the workshop is free, please announce yourself to delavnica@ljudmila.org.
