WORKSHOP
Field recordings for children
Leonie Roessler
Curated by Lina Sunish Vincent

Time: 9:30 – 12:00
Meeting Point: SADHANA DELL ARTE
Age Group: 8-12
Max Participants per Workshop: 5
Leonie and the children will spend some time sharing their thoughts about sound. What do the children hear? Which sounds are funny, scary, annoying? Which ones are important for our survival? Where can they find their favourite
sound in the near surroundings?
She will then give a quick and simple introduction to her equipment. They will then go in search of the kids’ favourite
sounds and they will get to record them using Leonie’s pro mic and recorder. They will also get to record a short soundwalk (a walk that that represents more than one physical space and acoustic environment) of their choice. As they listen back, the group will discuss why the same sounds recorded by different people sound different (that is, hearing through each other’s ears.)
Later, Leonie will post the sounds on her student SoundCloud so that they (and/or friends and family) can access them online, at any point of time.
