I will be running a Sonic Workshop at Leamington Art Gallery and Museum (The Pump Rooms) on two consecutive Saturdays, the 5th and 12th March.

The workshops will combine a number areas of specific interest to me: photo montage, field recording, mapping and sound collage. I will give brief talks on ‘The semiotics of sound’, ‘deep listening’ and ‘sonic mapping and psycho-geography’. There will be some listening sessions, films to watch and instructional training. I will take the participants on a soundwalk in Leamington and I will introduce them to the use of simple field recording equipment. We will create a ‘map portrait’ using photographs and processed field recordings – this will be created as document of one particular space or a journey. The final piece will be displayed as a photo montage with the soundtrack playing on a portable cassette player. The magnetic tape will weave in and out of the photographs and the cassette player itself will be part of the final work.

The workshops will be suitable for people with previous experience of working with sound as well as those with none.

£20 per person, for two workshops
