Sylabus
The workshops will pick up where the talk leaves off and will focus on how to make sample-based music. Subjects will include decisions regarding how to find and collect/record samples; how to approach composing with these materials; compositional and manipulation techniques; and so on. Participants should bring in their own laptops and a means for capturing sounds, e.g., a mobile phone. If they already have relevant software, that is fine. The software made for beginners called Compose with Sounds will be on offer to all participants. This software provides means to upload sounds with corresponding images for instant recognition, sequencing them and manipulating them in order to create interesting sample-based music. Note: at the moment of writing, this software only works on a Macintosh platform but it is expected that the Windows version will be ready by October.
Leigh Landy is currently completing a book with his colleague, John Richards, entitled ‘On the Music of Sounds and the Music of Things’. Richards recently offered workshops in Prague on making/hacking culture and these two days will be spent thoroughly investigating the music of sampled sounds. He has also published a book for beginners called ‘Making Music with Sounds’ (Routledge, 2012) and has been composing sample-based music for many years.
