Creative Use of Sound in Environmental Education

This fascinating event will show you ways in which recorded sounds from our natural environment can be used in innovative and creative ways by young people. It will include techniques that sharpen listening skills, a beginner’s guide to equipment for recording natural sound, how to use freely available computer software to `compose' with recorded sound, presentation techniques – and places to play what you’ve recorded. The event is being run in conjunction with Sonic Arts Network and the Sonic Postcards Project (www.sonicpostcards.org).
This event is aimed at countryside staff wishing to develop new environmental arts projects with young people or teaching staff looking for new directions in environmental education. It assumes no previous knowledge of audio hardware or software.
