This electro-acoustic workshop uses Delia Derbyshire and John Cage’s works as intellectual and sonic reference points.
We will learn how to record professional audio samplers, the world of field recordings and audio formats including also the more accessible ways to record on your own sound using your cellphone. After this comes an introduction to Musique Concrète techniques and sound art production, and the first view of Ableton Live software.
