Sound workshop at XX. Build your own microphone ! Contact microphones pick up the sound vibrations that
hit hard surfaces. They are fantastic way to explore the little sounds
it’s easy to otherwise miss, and they are cheap, easy and fun
to build. Bring your own soldering iron and $18 to cover costs.
Afterwards we will be playing with the microphones together to see what
kind of sounds we can create. For reservation: freida@studioxx.org
Call for participation : Deanne Achon residency project "The Early Bird Gets the Worm"
As part of a web residency project with StudioXX, Deanne
Achong is collecting stories and/or images about birds. If you have
any stories you would like to share, please visit: Thanks in advance for your participation! More details: Summer Workshop 2005 : In and Out of the Sound Studio July 25 to 29, 2005 The In and Out of the Studio summer workshop is an outgrowth of a SSHRC-funded multi-university research project headed by Dr. Andra McCartney about the contemporary working contexts and practices of women sound producers and artists in Canada. Over the last four years we have interviewed women in Quebec, Ontario, B.C. and Newfoundland across a range of disciplines including but not limited to public and community radio, music production, film and video game sound design, theatre and museum sound production. In all of these areas, women are isolated by disciplinary boundaries and by the small numbers of women practising in each area of sound production. In many cases, an interviewee would be the only woman in her area. This summer workhop will allow us to bring these producers and artists into interaction with each other, as well as with graduate students and scholars working on questions of gender and sound technologies. The workshop will bring together artists, producers and scholars around questions and practices of gender and sound technologies. We will exchange skills through master classes, and discuss political, aesthetic and technological issues in the context of daily sessions. The invitees, chosen in part because of their previous involvement in the In and Out of the Studio project as researchers or interview subjects, form the core of presenters and instructors, while a call for papers will garner more textual presentations on the subject of gender and sound technologies. "Hear and Tell" sessions at the end of each day will allow artists and producers to discuss examples of their work in the context of the day's practical classes. Studio XX, Montreal's premiere digital resource centre
for women, has also agreed to lead introductions to the Linux computing
platform and open source sound software resources throughout the week.
Finally, this mix of practice and theory will animate the making of We will create a sound documentary about the work of women sound producers and artists in Canada. Work on this documentary will commence during the workshop, using recordings of daily sessions as source material. The documentary will be completed shortly after the workshop. http://artsandscience.concordia.ca/facstaff/m-o/mccartney/conference/conference.htm Call
for submission : Professionnal Development MAX & Microcontroller
Workshop (english to follow in august) Le Studio XX sollicite des projets qui seront réalisés dans le cadre d'un atelier (pour débutantes) de développement professionnel destiné aux femmes artistes. Première session (octobre 2005) : débutantes L'objectif général de la formation est de permettre à des femmes artistes - via la réalisation d'une œuvre numérique - de s'approprier les multiples composantes des dimensions sonores, visuelles et interactive de la création multimédia en utilisant les logiciels MAX (ou Pure Data_logiciel libre). Qu'il s'agisse de la compréhension du langage technique lié à la création ou de la manipulation des outils de base utilisés en audio, en video et en interactivité, l’utilisation de MAX (et Pure Data) est essentiel. Contenu : session 1 _Image _Son Dates de tombée Deuxième session (janvier 2006) : avancées Savoir comment fonctionne les microcontrôleurs (Basic Stamp) et apprendre comment on s’y prend pour construire de petits circuits électroniques effectuant des fonctions programmées, transforme la formation Max/Pure Data en atelier très concret. Dans ce sens, les artistes maîtriseront les outils nécessaires pour développer pleinement toutes les composantes propres à des projets multimédias. Contenu : session 2 _Interactivité _Circuits La date de réception pour les dossiers de deuxième
session sera annoncée en novembre 2005. Ces deux ateliers servent au développement des compétences disciplinaires et des compétences en nouvelles technologies comme outil de création. La formation donnée par l’instructeur Patrice
Coulombe permettra aux participantes d’approfondir leurs compétences
artistiques et professionnelles par: Les œuvres seront diffusées par le Studio XX dans le cadre dans le cadre d'un salon Femmes br@nchées.
