Learn how to sample and manipulate live sound for performance using microphones alongside laptops equipped with a unique piece of sampling software developed by Solarference. Grab sound bytes, arrange beats, stretch or freeze time and create musical textures. Software is especially designed to be easy to pick up, even for those who are new to using audio software. Workshop participants will explore extended vocal techniques, sound making toys and objects.  All these sounds will be sampled live to create a unique improvised electronic sound-score of beats, textures and atmospheric layers which we will record and make available for all participants to download from our website.
