ONLINE WORKSHOP:
FIELD RECORDING AT HOME
FRI AUG 28, 4.00 - 5.00PM
Free
Learn how to create and use field recordings in this workshop facilitated by experimental Australian musician, Vicki Hallett.
In this one hour online workshop with Vicki Hallett, you will learn how to create your own composition like Habitat. Habitat is an experimental music project by Vicki Hallett, Jeremy Alsop and Steve Falk which combines field recordings of the endangered African forest elephant and improvised live music.
Vicki will show you how to make field recordings using common household technologies, such as phones and laptops. Using your immediate domestic space as your site, you will explore the aural possibilities of your direct environment.
To mark World Elephant Day on Wednesday 12 August, Platform Arts streamed the last pre-COVID Platform Arts performance of Habitat. You can watch the recorded livestream here.
Vicki Hallett is a composer, musician and sound artist. She has composed, produced and performed in live concerts, solo recordings ranging from chamber music to sound art and acoustic ecology. Through a unique approach combining acoustic ecology, scientific analysis and innovative performance practices, Hallett reshapes the role of interdisciplinary research. This exploration has led her to develop a collaborative concept with Cornell University's Elephant Listening Project as well as performing in South Africa on Mabolel Rock with a pod of Hippopotami.
