Ryu Hankil – Human Field Recorder and Player Workshop (16-25 year olds only)
Important note: The workshop is for 16–25* year olds. There are 10–15 places There will be tea and coffee provided.
Participants will be invited to choose a space to listen in, and write down the most memorable or distinct sounds, exactly as heard. The writing can use onomatopoeia, phonetic symbols, or participant’s own developed method for varied notation.
The notes become not just a sound record but an equivalent representation of the designated space and time. Participants will be invited to estimate the direction and duration of each sound using their own method, and write this alongside the sound in the notepad.
The participant stands in the position where they heard the sound and reads it in their own voice according to the time they have written the sound. Participants will then listen again to the soundscape created by their reading.
Participants should bring their own notebook and pen.
No prior knowledge required, and equipment is provided. Please email us via music.space.programme@gmail.com with any questions.
