Eco-sensing and the Soundscape Workshop
Saturday, April 28 at 10 AM – 1 PM EDT
Light Box, 8641 Linwood St, Detroit, Michigan 48206
Description
Beyond speech and music, there is a world of sound. Listening and recording those sounds outside opens our ears and minds to their meaning and value. Come join us on Saturday, April 28 at 10:00 AM for a fun and inventive field recording workshop that will teach you to hear the world in a different way!
Sound artist and acoustic ecologist Eric Leonardson will teach you basics of record sounds in the outdoors, or indoors if weather imposes, with portable devices. He will show how field recording makes material for making new music, sound design, and understanding the world.
