“Sculpting with Sound” with Kristel Jax (Virtual, 2021)

Crip Rave™ Collective Presents…

“Sculpting with Sound” is an introductory sound production workshop facilitated by Kristel Jax.

Do you want to explore sound from a Crip perspective?

Join us on September 4th 2021 from 2PM - 4PM EST and play with the multi-sensory nature of sound as we co-create an understanding with us about what it means to Crip Sound.

The workshop will de-emphasize software but will also offer an introduction to some of the basic building blocks of sound, such as waveforms, vibrations, decibels, sheet music, and spectrographs.

Participants are invited to submit a short recording (1 - 15 seconds long) of their favourite sound or sound-making event or texture to be explored and collaged with during the workshop. We will engage with the sounds that folks submit, demonstrating the different ways that sound can be accessed and played with— highlighting that sound is not only auditory, but is a tactile, visual, colourful, and emotional sculpting material. Please visit the Eventbrite for details on how to prepare your submission and email it to crip.rave.collective@gmail.com by August 23rd to have it included in the collage.

You do not need to submit a recording to participate in the workshop. All aspects are optional.

This workshop will be capped at 20 participants. Register early!
