Do you ever find yourself stopping to listen to the birds nearby? or noticing the musical clinking when you put the dishes away? or wish you had a way to capture the calming sound of raindrops on the lake? This workshop will introduce you to the wonderful world of field recording – finding sound in the wild – and will get you started making your own sonic experiments with the free audio editing software Audacity. For twelve and up. This workshop is designed for beginners!
