Part of Coming to Know
This is a hands-on workshop where participants will learn to build a personal laboratory for sound studies. At the end of the one day workshop, you would have built your own sound laboratory using commonly found materials. We will build microphones to listen, explore and build tools that will allow us to broadcast via sound and radio waves. In short, all the tools that we need to perceive and influence the world with sound are around us we only need to learn to recognise objects that can be repurposed to build these tools. No prior knowledge of sound or electronics is necessary. We will start from scratch.
