An introduction to the practice of Field Recording and its techniques

Participants will be introduced to the origin and evolution of Field Recording as a sonic practice. You will receive advice on the use and variety of equipment; to include digital sound recorders, microphones and windshields.

These two days will also cover location scouting, basic sound editing, and uploading a project to a sound site, for instance a soundmap. On completion of the course, participants will have produced a field recording portfolio, totalling five minutes that they will have uploaded to the sound site of their choice.

This course will take place over two consecutive Saturdays.
