Zosia Hołubowska will lead a workshop on experimenting with sound from a queer perspective. It will address issues like improvisation, collectivity, body and budget options. The workshop will present some very cheap or free options to get unexpected results and refer to the work of queer sound artist. We will make deep listening exercises and talk about composition strategies but there will be lots of technical issues explained as we go along (the difference between analog and digital, audio and midi, processing audio signal and interfering with single wave cycles). We will also explore sound processing by doing all the things you are not supposed to do in music production.

Duration: 2,5 h

Participants: 12-15

Language: English

Donations: 5- 10 euro (suggested donations for materials, no one will be turned away for the lack of funds)
