"Making Rain"
by Chris Brookes

"The job of the poet is not to tell you it is raining;
the job of the poet is to make rain." (Paul Valery)SOCAN

This workshop will look at approaches to structuring radio/sound features,i.e. taking advantage of the evocative power of the medium and the dramatic possibilities of narrative to make rain.

"Amplifying the Inaudible: Making new sounds for radio and sound art"
by Eric Leonardson

This hands-on workshop will teach participants how to make and use contact microphones, using them to produce new and unusual sounds from readily available materials. Applying the sonic material that they create, workshop participants will have a hands-on experience in digitally recording and mixing their own sound art piece.

You can register for one or both workshops, choosing between morning or afternoon sessions.
