Sound camp [0 – |]

Summer starts with a week-long intensive sound camp [0 – |] for beginners in sound. “Beginners” in this particular case is a rather loosely defined category, if in doubt – get in touch with matters@kpk.lt

The program consists of three [modules]: [1] sound composing, [2] graphic notation, [3] Pure Data. During each of the modules the participants will be provided with the skills in: sound production and reproduction (various phases), recording and processing, fundamentals in sound synthesis, programming, composition. By the end of the week program, participants will present  results of their individual and / or collaborative work in a live concert or otherwise, depending on the pandemic situation requirements. 

The [modules] are proposed and facilitated by: Brigitta Bödenauer – sound, film and installation artist, industrial music DJ from Austria; Vygintas Orlovas – artist and researcher, lecturing on interactive arts and Pure Data programming environment, among other things, in Vilnius Academy of Arts; William Bilwa Costa – a conceptual artist, researching noise via/and architecture as well as a variety of dialogical forms. More information about each of the modules and lecturers will be available shortly.

The activities of the [0 – |] camp will take place daily for a week, from 31st of May to 4th of June, from 10 am to 6.30 pm. Format of the workshop – hybrid (partly online, depending on the pandemic situation). The results of the workshop will be presented during the events of 5th June. Next to the main workshops of the camp, the participants of the program will be provided with some reading materials, films and, if situation allows, informal non-curricular exchange.

We seek to provide those that have no possibility – due to health of geographic reasons – to participate in the program activities online. Hence two groups are organised: one group of participants for in-class learning experience, and one – for online participation. The format applied for will need to be selected on the [application form].

Applicants from places other than Kaunas will be provided with accommodation (please indicate the need thereof in the application form). We also offer the possibility to partially or fully cover travel expenses for selected applicants (due to the pandemic mobility regulations it might not apply for participants outside of Lithuanian). The participants taking place in the in-class workshop will be provided with lunch and dinner daily during the duration of the camp [0 – |]. 

We’ll be accepting applications until the 23rd of May, fill the form in [here]. Please note that precedence will be given to participants that are able to participate in the program in its entirety. By the end of the camp the participants will be issued a certificate of attendance if the entirety of the program has been attended.
