This four-week Ableton and Envelop Training (for Live Performances) course introduces musicians and performers to the fundamentals of spatial sound, including ambisonics, binaural audio, and sound diffusion for performance and installation works.
Led by spatial sound composer and artist Nik Rawlings, during the course you’ll develop a creative and critical approach to composing immersive music and sound works, have space to share and reflect on your work with your peers and create a work that is ready to perform or install.
You’ll spend time undertaking independent research and composition, putting into practice skills learned during the course’s workshops and contextualising your work within established frameworks of spatial composition. You’ll also have the opportunity to share sound pieces on an immersive sound system and engage in reflection and peer to peer feedback.
You’ll attend hands-on workshops and talks by artists performing and exhibiting spatial sound internationally, sharing their knowledge and tips for navigating the challenges and requirements that you may face when presenting spatial sound works in different settings, and how to create technical riders and specifications for production teams.
By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped with skills, knowledge and tools that de-mystify immersive sound creation, and allow you to grow as an immersive artist. You’ll also build your portfolio and be confident in your ability to deliver spatial sound works for a wide range of venues, galleries and collaborations.
Ableton and Envelop Training (for Live Performances) is designed for artists, sound designers, composers and producers who are looking to open up new horizons in their work and gain the skills necessary to become an immersive sound artist.
Participants will require some experience using Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs); we will be using Ableton Live and Reaper. Before this course you are required to ensure that you have a working copy of Ableton Live (30 day free trial licenses are available) installed on your own computer.
