SOUND CREATION WORKSHOP: RECORDING AND EDITING SOUND
conducted by Chloé
with the support of the French Pavilion
Do you know that sound can be used as a way to express yourself and your creativity?
By not making only music, but with sounds recorded around you.
Like soundscape, birdsongs, wind through the branches, a motorbike passing, water flowing and voices around you who sing, speak, scream, shout, tell and sometimes confide.
The microphone gives us the possibility to record and fix sounds in many ways.
To play and express creativity with all those sounds, we use an editing program.
For one week, Chloé, an Aurovilian friend, working independently for Radio France and studying electro-acoustic music in Paris, will give a one-week workshop on how to record and edit sound by using the program REAPER.
She’ll give an overview of fundamental techniques for recording and editing.
Participants will learn this program by making a portrait of someone (or something) from Auroville. After that, for those who want it, we’ll include your « portrait » into the radio installation: The Voices of Auroville for the Auroville festival in Chennai (1st – 21st March 2015) at the Lalit Kala Academy Art exhibition in Chennai.
