Explore musical possibilities with musician Stephanie Pawula. Through discussion, listening and examining their own unique soundscapes and soundtracks participants will finish with their own collection of newly composed works. These will be create using field recording, day to day objects, voice and instruments.
Stephanie will share her experience in making improvised music following a theme, an image, a movement, an idea as well as presenting a musical statement. This soundscape will then evolve into a soundtrack by using simple recording techniques and minimal production.
The project consists of 8 x 30 min zoom sessions that you can participate in from the comfort of your own home. These Zoom based workshops will take place in January on Sat 9th, Sat 16th & Sat 30th, February on Sat 6th, Sat 20th, Sat 27th and in March on Sat 6th & Sat 20th
