Details

The main goal for the project is to generate a series of audio recordings in the studio using musical instruments as signal processors to alter original musical inputs for use in a sound and video installation. This will involve several different steps for the learners, including:


- Understanding the basics of audio signal processing and recording in a recording studio.


- Learning how to use studio equipment for recording and processing audio.


- Experimenting with different signal processing and recording techniques to alter original audio files as per instructions.


- generating a series of audio recordings though this process and managing and archiving these files.



Deliverables


By the end of the project, learners should complete the following tasks:


- A series of audio recordings with altered audio files using signal processing techniques.


- A report detailing the signal processing techniques used and the impact on the original audio files.



Final deliverables should include:


- A series of about 100 short audio tracks that feature the processing generating in the studio.

  • A report that contains a list of all the audio tracks and their names.




Mentorship

I will provide training and feedback for the student in this role. This will also include mentorship within the creative industries.
