WORKSHOP 2: COYOTE
Friday, March 5 3pm (until late)
Coyote is an all-weather, mongrel
sound-system, built to distribute
unexpected sounds in unusual places.
Let loose from the exhibition for one day
and carrying sonic materials from the
Ghost Acoustics exhibition, this workshop
seeks out other acoustic habitats.
LOCATION: Various sites, selected in discussion with
workshop participants, will become sites for clandestine sonic
intervention. Visiting these locations, Coyote units will be set
into these surroundings and switched on…
MATERIALS: Participants are invited to work with the audio
archive from the Ghost Acoustics exhibition, or to bring their
own sound in any format.
LISTEN: This workshop is concerned primarily with listening and
the effects of the spaces on the sounds themselves. Different
techniques of treating, editing, deconstructing sound will be
discussed within the larger context of field recording.
ARCHIVE: These brief sonic installations will become field
recordings themselves, recorded in situ. These recording will be
come part of the ongoing archive stored in the Coyote units as
they wait in the gallery. As well, short videos of these installations
will live on in online archive.
PARTICIPATE:
This workshop is open to all interested participants. No previous
experience is necessary. Please send an email with a short
expression of interest to fofagall@alcor.concordia.ca or contact
