BREAKING WAVES: FUNDAMENTAL TOOLS & METHODS FOR SOUND DESIGN
for women-identifying and non-binary artists

Back by popular demand, this workshop is an extension of our NEW WAYS OF LISTENING class, where participants will dive deep into the fundamental tools and methods for sound design.

This course is for anyone working in (or with ambitions to work in) audio media—documentary, fictional or artistic.

Topics will include
- sound design fx (reverb, delays, filtering and eq-ing)
- an introduction to acoustic and musical concepts (spatialization and quantizing)
- maximizing digital resources on a budget

- employing sound design choices thoughtfully and creatively

Shani will present experimental and creative works from the world of radio drama, music and film as sources of inspiration and references for sound design ideas.

The workshop is suitable for those with a basic working knowledge of audio editing software.
