Field recording workshop 0.2

Field recording workshop 0.2 is happening at 125 Great Junction Street on Sunday 15 November, with the session starting at 13:00. It's a workshop on field recording techniques, so it's less about listening and more about doing: the whole point is learning how to capture sound from the world around you.

If you've ever wondered how people record the city — the hum of the traffic, the wind through the trees, the specific noise of a street corner — this is where you'll find out. Field recording is just that: taking a recorder out into the world and capturing sounds as they happen, rather than making them in a studio. The workshop covers the techniques behind it, so you'll get a handle on how to actually go about doing it.

The session runs on the ground floor of 125 Great Junction Street, EH6 5JB, in Leith. It's a Sunday afternoon, so it's an easy one to fit in without having to rearrange your whole week. The 0.2 in the title suggests this is a follow-on or a second iteration, which is worth keeping in mind if you're coming to it as a complete beginner.

It all kicks off at 13:00 on Sunday 15 November at the ground floor of 125 Great Junction Street, EH6 5JB.
