Signal Flow starts from within.
A trio of workshops on creating, entering and sharing soundscapes. Facilitated by Nicole Bettencourt Coelho and Angela Won-Yin Mak.
We will be working with bass, guitar, effects pedals, drum machines, vocals, a synth, a toy keyboard and several amplifiers.
Over the three sessions we focus on:
1. 11th February 2020
Effects basics: Familiarise yourself with your tools. A hands on approach. The basics of effects chains and processing sound. Incite the spirit of curiosity by exploring texture. Focusing on the somatic experience of listening.
2. 23rd March 2020 { postponed due to Covid-19 }
Navigating sound: Creating drones, beats and noise. Observing and experiencing nuances within this soundscape. Extracting rhythm and melodies through deep listening. Locking in to trance and altered states. Induce an embodied interaction with sound.
3. 30th April 2020 { postponed due to Covid-19 }
Conscious composition: Applying principles of the first 2 sessions through musical improvisation. Collective experimentation within a shared sound space. Setting an intention, externalising emotion and processing narrative through sound.
Signal Flow was devised as an event series for:
CONVENT is a London-based Music Collective brought about to support women, trans and non-binary artists develop their practice through collaboration and cooperation, connecting music-makers from under-represented groups by providing the time and space to work/play.
