Free online workshop open to composers of all levels.
Exploring the Art of Sound Installations
Are you a composer curious about how your creative skills might be applied to the context of an installation?
Are you interested in long form or generative composition and exploring the use of unconventional instruments and sound sculpture?
Kathy Hinde will share some of the methods and processes she employs when creating sound installations, site specific work and sculptural instruments that could shift from being an installation to a setting for performance and improvisation.
6-7pm including approx. 40 min talk with a Q&A session at the end. Please note that although we try to wrap-up opensound sessions by 7pm, they sometimes run over by 5-10 min
Biography - Kathy Hinde
Kathy Hinde is an interdisciplinary artist who creates installations, performances and site specific experiences aiming to nurture a deeper and more embodied connection to the more-than-human world. Composed of hand-made objects, electronics and a blend of digital and analogue systems, her work represents a cross between kinetic sound sculptures and newly invented musical instruments. She creates pieces in response to specific locations and frequently works in collaboration with other practitioners and scientists and often actively involves the audience in the creative process.
Kathy has toured work across Europe, USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Russia, China, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Colombia, Australia and New Zealand. Awards include an Ivor Novello Award for Sound Art, an Honorary Mention at Prix Ars Electronica, a British Composer Award, an ORAM award and a Scottish Award for New Music.
