Superposition – An AV workshop at Sonica

September 23-24 2024 at the Lighthouse

-Day 1: Listening & field recording – Processing & composing

Morning:

Participants will explore the urban environment through sound walks and recording. Recording techniques both conventional and unconventional will be used in order to facilitate new ways of listening to the environment and considering how and why to capture sounds for use in composition. I will also discuss how the recording process itself can facilitate a deeper connection to place, self and others.

Afternoon:

We will listen and I will teach how to edit and clean up recordings, compose a one minute track. I will discuss my own process of manipulating and assembling sounds into compositions. Both technical and conceptual aspects of the processing and composition stage will be discussed, and participants will work on generating short tracks to share and discuss with the group in order to have audio to attach to their visual component with Markus the next day with Touch Designer.

Day 2:  Visuals TD – 10 – 14h with lunch break and pauses

All day:

Markus will cover from beginner to intermediate (adapting to the participants)  Touch Designer aspects and will help the participant create visuals

to which they will add their audio composition. Each will leave with a short AV work they have created.

Residencia France Jobin (CA)
Workshop, master class e instalación sonora

France Jobin, artista del sonido y la instalación, compositora y curadora de arte, se dedica a crear instalaciones que incorporan elementos musicales y visuales que exploran el espacio arquitectónico de los lugares que interviene. Sus obras transitan entre lo analógico y lo digital y configuran una experimentación con el sonido y la imagen.

Jobin presentará en Casa del Lago UNAM un workshop que tiene como objetivo que las y los asistentes desarrollen una nueva sensibilidad ante los sonidos de su entorno para crear una pieza sonora. También impartirá una master class en la que expondrá una introducción a su trabajo y hablará de la importancia de los medios visuales y del sonido. Por último, presentará una instalación diseñada especialmente para la Casa del Lago.

Workshop: Introspección

El objetivo del curso es que los estudiantes desarrollen una nueva sensibilidad ante los sonidos que hay a su alrededor y sean capaces de crear una obra sonora que comunique algo de su interés con grabaciones de campo. Durante el primer día se hablará del desarrollo del proyecto para posteriormente grabar los sonidos que llamen su atención. Durante el segundo día usarán los audios para montar un track de un minuto que constituya una pieza sonora.

*El workshop será impartido en inglés*

Soledad – Medellin

Laboratorio de arte sonoro –

Semana #1  – 4 – 12 de Septiembre – Exploratorio
Semana #2 – 18 – 22 de Septiembre – MAMM (LAB3)

Inauguramos nuestra plataforma itinerante con un nuevo taller para el mes de Septiembre.

A raíz de su visita durante la Semana de la Escucha, la artista France Jobin quedó profundamente interesada por explorar más a fondo Medellín y sus sonidos, y es así como nace un laboratorio para proponer el arte sonoro, la música ambient y la escucha minimalista dentro de nuestro contexto.

“Soledad, Medellín” comenzará con una primera etapa de escucha y grabación de campo en el territorio, que se desarrollará en el Exploratorio del Parque Explora; y culminará con una segunda etapa de procesamiento del paisaje sonoro y con el proceso de difusión multi-canal para una instalación a realizarse con los participantes en el LAB3 del Mamm Medellín.

El laboratorio busca reconocer una multidimensionalidad de la escucha al introducirse en el entorno para sentirlo, procesarlo e imaginarlo, en su soledad, que es también esa del escucha.

El laboratorio es gratuito, con cupos limitados e inscripción previa. Más información: http://auditum.co/evento/soledad-medellin-laboratorio-de-arte-sonoro/

“Soledad” will bring the participants closer to their territory by the “act of field recording” in various parts of the city that are sonically contrasting in terms of social dynamics, geography and neighbourhoods. The multidimensionality specific to Medellin offers a rich sound palette that may enable the participants to reconnect with their environment.

Throughout this process, we will share knowledge, perceptions and thoughts which I hope will inspire the participants to re-connect with their environment and ultimately, themselves. The idea of solitude is not approached from a perception of isolation but rather from a recognition of one’s connection in a world of disconnect. Technology has enabled us to be more  connected yet, we have never been so apart. Social media sells this illusion of hyper connected society yet, more people are unhappy and isolated.

With this workshop, I-we hope to achieve a state of “Soledad”, similar to a zen state, utilizing technology, the act of listening and ambient minimal sound art in order re-connect with one, and ultimately others.

“Soledad” will conclude as a multichannel sound installation created by the participants to be presented September 22nd and 23rd  at MAMM -LAB3. They will be taken through the entire process of the creation of a sound installation up to and including the inauguration of their project, an opportunity for us all to experience a collective solitude through sound art.

Panel: Exploring Sonic Practices March 24th 3:30 -5:30

Subharmonic: A Sonic Arts Symposium spans two immersive days of interactive workshops, thought-provoking panels, and live performances for artists and audiences of all experience levels to explore, discuss, and engage with a broad range of contemporary and experimental sound art and its influences. Programs will touch on electronic and noise music, video and light installation, film and video, space and architecture, racial and gender equity in the field, and more.

Both local and global critical ideas and creative practices will be shared, with a keynote presentation by sound art curator and practitioner France Jobin (Montréal) and performances and conversations featuring numerous local artists. Collaboratively curated by a consortium of local arts organizations and collectives, the full scope of symposium activity reflects a commitment to amplifying underrepresented voices in sound art and highlighting the depth and diversity of sonic art landscape, practices, and communities in Portland and beyond.
