Understanding sound and the relevant instruments (and softwares), applying it to various artistic arrangements , the participants will unfold their own stories by means of music, installment, performance and the radio.

The participants will be introduced to basic DSP(Digital Signal Processing) for the sound analysis and synthesis, MAX/MSP for the simple programming and other applications for editing and combining sounds. Then they will be guided to experience field recording and listening which made the long tradition of ’Soundscape’ movement and the new approaches nowadays . Furthermore, they will work on Circuit Bending(disassembling and modifying used-hardware or toys) to make new instruments or artistic installments which may be connected to computer through the sensors for the interactivity.

Guest speakers’ lectures and other performances are to be organized during the workshop. The whole workshop will be managed reflecting on the participants’ areas of interest. The resulting works are supposed to be broadcasted through the low power radio transmitter and the workshop space be open to public as an exhibition.
