Sound is evocative. Sound includes voices and words, emotive notes and music, animal calls and the environment. By working with existing sound recordings, creating meaning through layers, contrasts, repetition, we can say something of our own in immersive and connected ways. This workshop will explore sound art, giving participants a chance to make something of their own.

To start the exploration, Kylie Burnham (she/they), Digital Media Specialist at Tisch Library, will share a selection of her sound works related to queer identity and gender, highlighting the use of archival interviews and and other found sound. Afterwards, she will guide participants through a brief tutorial and finding sounds in databases and assembling them in Audacity. The workshop will conclude with ample time to play around and make something, while surrounded by expert support from the Digital Design Studio!

This workshop will take place in the Digital Design Studio (DDS), on the top floor of Tisch Library in Tisch 303. The DDS is accessible from the elevator.
