WORKSHOP: Composing Music with Found Sound present by RPM Challenge and Lawnya Vawnya
I'm beyond proud to have led this workshop on composing music with found sound! Collecting field recordings and creating soundscape music is a passion of mine and I deeply appreciate the opportunity to extend this interest to other lovely music makers. Big thanks to Lawnya Vawnya and RPM Challenge for putting this on! I'm am also now quite motivated to take on the RPM challenge this coming year (2022)!!
This workshop covered methods for collecting and composing with sounds found in the world. Developing pieces of music with found sound is fun, inspiring, and can lead to unique results that define the character of your work. This workshop was designed to demonstrate a wide range of tools that can be used to record and process found sounds as well as to highlight music that has been created with these techniques.
