THIS WORKSHOP IS FULLY BOOKED.

\n

STEI M\, in partnership with the Geluid van Nederland project\, presents a ser ies of workshops addressing the creation\, consumption\, and reappropriatio n of field recordings.

\n

For this second workshop we welcome electron ic musician\, producer\, and sound artist Robert Henke (Monolake) back to STEIM to give a 3-day workshop on the technical aspects of field re cording\, from capturing sound\, to production and performance.

\n

The Geluid van Nederland website contains an archive of geoc oded field recordings already collected as part of the Geluid van Nederland project. We encourage participants to add their own recordings from the wo rkshop to this archive\, and also to use recordings from the archive as par t of their projects. The entire Geluid van Nederland archive is open for fr ee creative use and will remain sustainably preserved as it grows.

\n

Dates: Nov 29 - Dec 1\, 2012
\nTime: 10:00 - 15:00 each da y
\nCost: €35 (covers all three days)
\nLocation: STEIM\, Achterg racht 19\, 1017WL Amsterdam
\nMaximum Participants: 15
\n
\nThe workshop will have a strong focus on using field recordin gs as source material for further processing. The workshop will include a g roup field recording session through the city of Amsterdam. At the end of t he workshop participants will have the opportunity to present their work in the context of a concert in the evening.

\n

Some topics Robert will c over include:
\n
\nRecording:
\n- what to record and wit h which intention? ( aesthetic considerations )
\n- how to record ( te chnical considerations )
\n- mono\, stereo\, multichannel

\n

Editing:
\n- how to create meaning and narration ( aesthetic )
\ n- simple processing of sounds for enhanced results ( technical and aesthet ic)

\n

Advanced Processing:
\n- using field recordings as source material for sampling\, re-synthesis\, granular synthesis etc..

\n

Dif fusion\, Playback\, Performance\, Installation:
\n- how to present fie ld recording based works?
\n- how to work with multiple channels of au dio
\n- speaker placement and selection
\n- real time manipulatio n

\n

WHAT TO BRING //

\n

Participants must brin g their own field recording equipment (portable sound recorder\, microphone s\, etc..). Participants are also responsible for bringing a pair of headph ones and a laptop with sound software that they are familiar with. Robert w ill be mainly demonstrating techniques using Ableton Live and Max\, but the techniques used will be generally applicable to any multi-track sound prod uction software.

TEACHER //

\n

Rober t Henke\, born in Munich\, Germany\, builds and operates machines to create art.

\n

He pairs archaic concepts with computer science in o rder to explore new aesthetic territories between composition\, performance and installation. The creation of his own instruments and tools and the results of using them are two sid es of the same artistic process.

\n

His art is focused on carefully sh aped textural details and gradual changes of repeating structures in differ ent time scales. It is also about volume\, power and impact\, the tension b etween silence and noise\, and about the exploration of real and virtual au dio visual spaces.

\n

Henke is a pioneer of multichannel sound\, using systems like wave field synthesis and ambisonics to create situations of total immersion\, exp anding the sonic experience of his performances beyond of what can be reproduced in stereo.\nAlthough mainly known for his musical output\, Henke is also working in the field of installation\, both sound based and audio-visual. Currently he explores the usage of high power lasers for an installation called 'Fragile Territories' which will b e shown this winter in Nantes\, France.

\n

Henke’s interest in the com bination of art and technology is further evident in his contributions to t he development of the music software 'Ableton Live'. For more than a decade since Ableton’s founding in 1999\, he has been central to the development of Live\, which became the standard tool for electronic music production an d completely redefined the performance practice of electronic music.

\n< p>Henke also writes and lectu res about sound and the creative use of computers\, and holds a profess orship in sound design at the Berlin University of Arts.

\n

For 2013 h e has been selected as Mohr Visiting Artist at the music departmen t of Stanford University\, where he will be teaching a class in computer mu sic composition and performance.
