In this online workshop, participants will learn how to translate visual information into sound and develop musical ideas in the process. The facilitator will demonstrate how to approach textual archives in order to form sound patterns and composition ideas.
 
At the end of the session, participants are invited to record an audio composition based on ideas developed during the workshop, either with their own voice or with other sound-producing tools. These audios will be developed further by the facilitator and performed live during the closing of Festival Retas Budaya.
 
No prior music theory knowledge needed.
