Join this workshop to discover how to create electronic and ambient music using analogue and digital techniques.
Hosted by artist/musician Tom Harris, explore the possibilities of using synthesisers and tape machines to process sounds and create textures.
Expect to explore composition techniques, sound design and composing using multitrack tape machines, 'foley' sound, loop pedals, synthesis and sampling. In the workshop we will aim to bring all of these techniques together to create a group live performance.
Feel free to bring any music equipment that you are currently exploring compositions with, or you are welcome to use equipment provided. Also you are encouraged to bring a small object from home that sounds 'unique' that we can explore during the workshops.
