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.
