Project
Sound is at the centre of the project. Acoustic, prepared and digital sounds are combined in such a way that they blend together better. To this end, different setups will be experimented with to create a homogeneous and innovative sound, with elements of the original setup being rethought, redefined and rearranged to promote fresh ideas. In a second phase, the tracks will be played through another setup, which will significantly change the sound once again. The whole thing is mixed on an analogue console. Finally, creative and innovative solutions are found for the live performance. The coaching covers the following topics: Sound design, improvisation, mixing, performance.
