Bring the World of Sound to Your Community
Field Recording Workshop Series: Listening Through the Lens of a Phone
This six part workshop series introduces participants to the art and practice of field recording using the most accessible tool we have: our phones. Blending sound art, creative practice, and reflective listening, this program is designed to engage students, artists, educators, and curious minds in an embodied exploration of the sonic world around them.
Participants will learn to:
Develop deep listening skills and heightened sonic awareness
