Notes
Join Mount Pleasant Community Centre Artists in Residence, Toni-Leah Yake and Helena Krobath, in a youth audio arts mentorship. Together, we will create a series of sonic artworks about place and memory, which may include soundscape compositions, music, storytelling, interviews, audio poetry, or even data sonification (hint: it's like visualization, but with sound). Not sure what those all mean? Come find out!
Be part of the production from start to finish – no experience necessary. Participants will be able to collaborate on larger segments and create individual pieces if they like.
During the mentorship, youth will learn to handle a variety of professional-quality microphones, field recorders and digital instruments, while also discovering how to take great recordings with everyday tools like cellphones. Through hands-on demonstrations, they’ll learn how to transform sounds using powerful free software like DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) and VST3 (Virtual Studio Tools) effects plugins.
The completed project will be shared in a group installation and broadcast live on the Soundscape Show (Co-op Radio CFRO 100.5 FM).
