digiTales across borders – sound workshop

workshop soundrecording – sounding situations

The WS was initiated by the Goethe Institut Kigali, the Institut Francais and RAI Rwandan Arts Initiative. The idea of the workshop resulted from the digiTales across the borders performance, and its need to conserve the aural tradition of story telling into a digital media archive. For this the Goethe Institut Kigali invested in a basic equipment, which allows interested people to use the devices and microphones in order to record told stories, interview storytellers and collect material around the topic. Sounding situations conceived the WS not only technical, but also from a perceptional and physical  standpoint. It was organized in lectures on different topics, exercises of listening, and practical hands-on recording, mixing and mastering classes. The dossier can be downloaded here.
