Nuts and Bolts workshop at Notam: Latent Sonorities with Morgan Sully
Latent Sonorities with Morgan Sully
(aka Memeshift)
Where: Notam, Myrens Verksted 3A, Oslo
What: This workshop is designed for musicians, producers, and sound artists interested in exploring sonic material through hands-on digital manipulation. Additionally, people interested in thoughtfully working with music instrument archives and transcultural exchange may find the workshop fruitful.
Working with a sample pack and tuning system from Rumah Budaya Indonesia Berlin?s ?RBI? Javanese Gamelan, participants will be introduced to experimental digital techniques for manipulating sonic material recorded from instrument archives.
Participants will be introduced to the material, their instrumental provenance and and thoughtfully working with the material or even launching their own projects exploring instrument archives. This is not an gamelan workshop, rather we will work with sampled gamelan instruments and their tuning systems to create a new work together.
Throughout the workshop, we will work with a variety of these samples, delve into tuning techniques, and explore how to incorporate these sounds into your own compositions. By the end of the session, each participant will have created a unique piece in Ableton Live, which they can continue to refine and develop after the workshop.
Over the course of the session, you will:
– Learn about the history and provenance of this specific Javanese gamelan Explore a curated collection of gamelan instrument samples
– Understand the unique tuning systems used in this gamelan
– Develop techniques for manipulating sonic material in Ableton Live Experiment with blending gamelan sounds with modern electronic elements Create an original composition using the techniques learned.
By the end of the workshop, you will have gained a deeper appreciation for gamelan music and developed the skills to continue exploring this fusion of these sounds in your own compositions using Ableton Live.
