Oct 19th, 9am - 4pm
Instructor: Nathan Ober
Fees: $75 (includes materials)

With the simple act of listening we learn new ways of empathizing with our environment, neighbors, and even ourselves. Starting with a group listening tour of our local desert landscape, participants will discover what it means to tap into the unperceived and unexpected sounds around us, and discuss how what we hear shapes and shifts our perception of the world. Learn about the fundamentals of sound as both a physical phenomena (physical vibrations) and perceptual phenomena (our cognition of these vibrations), using custom transducer microphones to record vibrations not ordinarily heard by the human ear. In this single day all ages workshop, participants will learn basic soldering techniques to build their own contact microphones in order to capture quality field recordings anywhere.
