How do specific sound qualities become audible? How does sound behave in space? Which settings require which recording techniques? The Golden Pixel Cooperative is pleased to invite you to an artistic and technical workshop on sound recording and sound-design with the Prague-based educator, artist and sound designer for film and video-art Sara Pinheiro.
The workshop “From Recording To Listening” will focus mainly on different sound recording techniques and their possibilities. It will depart from the core understanding of sonic properties in order to approach techniques and strategies of capturing specific sounds. After a theoretical introduction, we will dive into the hands-on part of the workshop, in which we will record with different microphones (from boom mic to contact microphones) in different settings. Finally, we will listen to the recordings together from a technical as well as an artistic perspective and talk about the basic steps of sound design.

As the number of participants is limited, we ask you to register by 20 October 2022 by email to: tech@goldenpixelcoop.com

The workshop will be held in English at the Medienwerkstatt Vienna. Basic knowledge of sound recording and sound design is of advantage but not required.

Many thanks to Medienwerkstatt Wien for generously making its premises available. The technical equipment was financed by an infrastructure grant from the City of Vienna.
