This workshop is about hands-on experimentation to find your own approach to the power of your voice. In a group setting, you can explore freely, slip into alter egos, play with different characters and create mythical creatures. Together we will compose a big queer vocal symphony. Artists and lecturers Mary C (Synth Library Prague) and Tony Renaissance (The Future Vienna) will lead a workshop focussed on voice exploration with effect units from TC Helicon and samplers/effect units Roland SP-404.

BIO:

Tony Renaissance is a viennese electronic music producer and sound designer. Through utopian visions Tony Renaissance creates sounds and lyrics to imagine alternative realities through the transformative and connective power of sound and images. Tony Renaissance’s dark synthesizer sounds, heavy beats and ethereal, bending choral vocals create cathartic electronic landscapes, manifesting desires, anxieties, vulnerability, melancholy, mystical rituals of self-care, radical softness and resistances.
