Open Lab: Music composition and improvisation from a single sound source
C-drík aka Kirdec
The Kiblix 2013 resident artist C-drík Fermont will be staying in Maribor until 20 November 2013. During the course of the festival he will present his Open Lab workshop, which is scheduled to continue on November 18. The number of participants is limited to 10 persons.
Many composers nowadays don’t experiment anymore, they use ready-made software and often produce some standard music completely saturated with sounds. The artist will provide an introduction to a very minimal way to compose (experimental) music by using one short audio sound source only and extend it to a full composition by looping, pitching, layering, feedbacking, playing with its dynamic, spacialisation, etc. No special skills needed but your imagination.
