Conducted by Marja Burchard and Lindsey Wang, Polygonia
Analogue meets digital is the motto of Marja Burchard‘s and Lindsey Wang‘s workshop. The fusion of both worlds opens up a completely new way of approaching music, allowing musicians to create great soundscapes using a wide variety of tools.
The workshop includes Marja giving a playful insight into the practice of ambient music in an analog way with percussion instruments and everyday objects aiming to sensitise the participants to different kinds of sounds in order to create their own pieces of music. The workshop will also offer the participants a chance to record their self-made analog sounds, which will be processed under the guidance of Lindsey Wang. Together with Lindsey the participants will also learn how to compose music in an intuitive way using a music software.
The workshop will culminate into the participants presenting their own tracks with small digital sound improvisations which they will learn to create during the workshop.
Women musicians and music producers are encouraged to register.
By registration only.
