Folly Summer School of Sound: Explore Digital Sound Production, Guided by the Masters :: June 27-29, 2007; 10am-4pm :: St Martins College, Lancaster :: Performance on June 28 by goto10 artists de Valk and Mansoux, as well as Dave Griffiths and Chun Lee. Deadline for applications: May 31, 2007.

This year’s Summer School of Sound will be led by internationally-acclaimed sound artist collective goto10. Marloes de Valk and Aymeric Mansoux will lead a three-day course, exploring free open-source software available for home-studio purposes, such as audio and midi sequencers, sound editors and virtual effect-racks, as well as the creative possibilities of puredata in an audio-workstation setup.

The three-day summer school is aimed at musicians, designers, artists and those with an interest in multimedia technologies who want to explore how new digital technologies can help and inspire us when working with music and sound. Participants do not need a high level of technological or programming skills, although these would be beneficial. A strong interest in one or more of the following areas is essential: sound art, music, technology, open source software.

Booking fees and deadline: Organisational rate: #250; Individual rate: #150. Places are limited: to apply please email Jennifer Stoddart, Programme Co-ordinator at jennifer.stoddart ‘at’ folly.co.uk with brief details of your background, interest and experience in the areas listed above, and an indication of your level of computer literacy.

The closing date for applications is Thursday 31 May 2007. Applicants will be informed after this date if their application has been successful.

Please note: to apply for a place, you need to be able to attend all 3 days of the Summer School. This is an intensive course, but it will be fun, and you’ll benefit from some of the leading and most inspiring artists in their field!
