American Dance Festival 2005 Sound Workshops


#1 - Sounddance: a hands-on digital sound workshop for dance artists

In this workshop, students engage in an intuitive hands-on crash course in practical digital sound creation techniques. Fundamentals of sound recording and computer sound processing are introduced as a springboard for playful experimentation with noise.


Over the course of six sessions, students create their own digital sound compositions in a Duke computer lab (or on their own laptops), make field recordings with a portable MiniDisc recorder, and participate in listening activities, journaling, and discussion designed to open their ears to the world of sound around them.

This workshop is appropriate for all levels of experience, from seasoned computer-users to confirmed technophobes.</p>

[edit] #2 Sound Collage

Students learn the basics of digital sound editing in "Audacity," a free program available for both Mac and PC, and create their own sound compositions. The workshop takes place in a Duke computer lab, but students may also choose to work on their own laptops.
