WALK: To See With Our Ears

A sound walk, when we see with our ears and how sound shapes the image of the space in which we are, brings us a new opportunity to perceive our surroundings and transform the given sound palette of these colours into compositions that will represent complex characteristic corners and situations of urban life. Thanks to the processing of recordings of the metal clanking of lamps, railings and benches, we will find ourselves in an environment ranging from the striking tower of the cathedral to construction sites and construction machinery. All the sound compositions of the colourful tones of the city will allow us to project and stage environments that are familiar to us even in Ústí. This is an educational program for children and youth. Individuals of this workshop will be able to try working with a microphone, recording, bending individual sounds up to composition itself and creating dynamics in the time medium. The result will be compositions — electroacoustic collages.

Lada Jaffe is a music composer, teacher on the Elementary Art School and a student of Digital Media at FUD.
