Peter Cusack will share his practices, knowledge and reflections on field recording. During the workshop we will visit the local soundscapes around Dalston. The aim is to listen to what is there and ask how sound in the environment can be interestingly recorded and mapped. We will make audio field recordings but also explore ways of using other media to document what we hear.
Bring your sound recording devices. We will also provide some gear.
