[liebig zwoelfe]

Dear Liebiglieders s s :)
have a look & feel free to question &/or sign up the 2 upcoming workshops
happening very soon in Rigaerkiez in collaboration with *Eufonia Festival*!
Since Eufonia´s Office & Liebig12 are so close we will play with both
spaces!
Have fun :) https://www.eufonia-festival.com/program &

*Un/natural Field Recordings//Natural Overdub**s* with *William “Bilwa”
Costa*
https://www.facebook.com/events/706434599875351/

*Saturday 26th from 11:00 to 17:00 & Sunday 27th from 11:00 to 17:00 _*Meeting
point will be in front of *Eufonia Office in Rigaerstr. 100A 10247 Berlin*.

Un/natural Field Recordings//Natural Overdubs is a workshop which utilizes
urban, architectural, and natural spaces as both a source for cultivating
and processing/re-recording sound. We'll ask "What is the field?" and "What
is natural?" in regards to field recording, as a compositional element,
beyond phonography.

This workshop is open to artists of any medium (dance, visual art, sound
art, experimental music, performance, etc.) who are interested in
experimenting with sound. The goal of the workshop is to create personal
sound palettes which can be used for composition, experimentation, and
performance.

Un/natural Field Recordings//Natural Overdubs Workshop is based on the
project Un/natural Fields, in which William “Bilwa” Costa records man-made,
digital, analogue, and mechanical sounds, as well as many other incidental
sounds, which make up a city’s soundscape on metros and other indoor and
outside public spaces. These recordings are arranged in sound palettes
which, combined with sine-tones, are used for experimental sound
compositions, installations, and live performances.

Employing techniques associated with Musique Concrète, generative
electronic music, and auditory illusion; including: multi-track phasing,
oscillation, binaural beating, panning, cancellation, etc., this project
uses no plug-in effects. His palettes are comprised of sounds from many
cities including: Istanbul, Mexico City, Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo, NY,
Berlin,Vienna, Prague, Kaunas, Riga, etc.

Un/natural Field Recordings are audio recordings comprised of man-made,
digital, analogue, and mechanical sounds, as well as many other incidental
sounds, which make up a city’s soundscape in public spaces. This process
can be done systematically, intentionally, or at random; using various
quality levels of recording devices.

Natural Overdubs Un/natural Field Recordings are played back, in the same
space as the original recording and/or in various spaces with different
sound qualities, using portable speakers; essentially “overdubbing” the
recording with the sound event happening in the current space.
Creating and following scores or choreographies for recording, we will
experiment with recording in groups, recorder – speaker relationships,
alternating the foreground and background sounds; as well as utilizing a
spaces sound qualities (reverberation, reflection, echo, noise, etc.)

This process can be looked at as a sound intervention/concert and/or a
recording session which utilises public spaces.
Part of the workshop is going to be outside (recording), part will be
inside (editing/composing)

*PRACTICAL*
Working in small groups, we will:
– record a series of Unnatural Field Recordings in spaces near workshop
– search locations with interesting sound qualities for playback/overdubbing
– make a series of “overdub” recordings in these locations
– create a sound palette of these recordings
– experiment with playback options through loudspeakers, hand held
speakers, etc.
– create scores (graphic, time-based, thematic, etc.) based on research
during the workshop
– experiment with ways of utilizing individual sound palettes to perform
these scores
– perform scores created during the workshop

*WHAT TO BRING*
-AUDIO RECORDER and accessories (windscreen/small tripod/etc)

before : )

*Andrew Hockey's workshop "Introduction to Pure Data"*
https://www.facebook.com/events/2120643684910218/

*Monday 28.10.2019*

*18:00-21:00 _*Meeting point will be in front of *Eufonia Office in
Rigaerstr. 100A 10247 Berlin*

Pure Data is an open source visual programming environment that runs on
anything from personal computers to embedded devices and smartphones. It is
a major branch of the family of patcher programming languages known as Max
(Max/FTS, ISPW Max, Max/MSP, etc), originally developed by Miller Puckette
at IRCAM.

Pd enables musicians, visual artists, performers, researchers, and
developers to create software graphically without writing lines of code. Pd
can be used to process and generate sound, video, 2D/3D graphics, and
interface sensors, input devices, and MIDI. Pd can easily work over local
and remote networks to integrate wearable technology, motor systems,
lighting rigs, and other equipment. It is suitable for learning basic
multimedia processing and visual programming methods as well as for
realizing complex systems for large-scale projects.

In this introductory workshop we start with the basics – what is Pd, who
uses it, how do you program with it, and how can it be utilised in your own
creative practice.

Participants will learn about the basics of data flow programming, control
and timing structures and GUI building.
Participants will also gain exposure to basic concepts in music technology
such as sampling, filtering and synthesizing sound.

Throughout the workshop we will create fun and approachable patches that
explore each of these concepts.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be making sound and jamming
together with the patches they have created.

This workshop is open for anyone interested in learning the basics of
real-time audio programming, no previous knowledge in either programming or
music is necessary!

Please bring your own laptop and headphones

*COST*: 19€
Max 15 people
