Description
Course available only by permission of instructor
at Course Advising Day
The Field Recording Workshop is an investigation
into the historical, technical and aesthetic
aspects of field recording as a means of
documentation and as a musical practice. As a
workshop, we will actively engage in making
recordings, comparing and testing equipment,
testing various post-recording procedures and, as
a final project, creating field recording pieces.
The history of field recording, from its
inception as a form of documentation (of existing
music and environments) towards its use as
musical material (from musique concrete onward)
will be sketched through readings and especially
an extensive listening list.
