10/21 @ 1:00pm - Patrick McGinley Sound Workshop

revenant:sound

In this one-day workshop we will explore sound as a transmitter of nonverbal information. We will focus on sound’s ability to define/describe space, and on our ability to resonate, alter, or create space by using sound.

‘revenant:sound’ is a project that focuses on improvised sonic activities in site specific locations. Voices are given to these spaces by producing sound using only objects found in-situ and the space itself. Participants will focus on a development of attentive listening and the ability to successfully participate in group explorations, while learning to find sonic potentials in everyday materials. Revenant derives its name from a concept of spatial memory, or, more specifically, from the long-term gestural memory of space; the ability of a location to retain an imprint or trace of activity or energy that has been present therein.

Participants are asked to bring one (non-musical) object from their living space, whose sonic potentials we will explore as a group.
