Sonic Alchemy: Designing Sounds from Field Recordings

Von 75 $ /Std

In this class, we’ll start by exploring your surroundings through field recording and use them as material for composition. Then we’ll bring those recordings into a digital audio environment and process them using experimental sound design techniques. We will explore the potential of sound together and learn how to listen for opportunities. By the end, you’ll have your own custom sound palette and the skills to create unique atmospheres that are unique to you. We will create textures, atmospheric sounds, instrument racks, and even drum racks!

This class is perfect for you if you want to have your own unique sound. Don't pay for samples, make your own.

Über mich

I am a multidisciplinary shapeshifter exploring the potential of sound, video, and performance. My work is experimental, navigating the space between reality and imagination to explore identity, perception, and vulnerability through technology. As a musician, I compose, design sound, and improvise vocally; as a visual artist, I craft abstract video, projection-based installations, and text-based art. I create simulations and machines to reveal hidden, overlooked, and unexplored realities and relations. My artist persona, duality, reflects my manifesto: embracing both nature and technology as forces of true innovation. My work has been guided by personal experiences, philosophy, metaphysics, feminism, hybrid human-machine relationships, deep listening, traditional Turkish singing, mindfulness, and lucid dreaming.

I love learning as much as I love teaching! If you are looking for an alternative, experimental, friendly teacher I am here for you!

My method is ... LEARN BY MAKING YOUR MUSIC!

The student will learn techniques, stylistic elements, tricks ... already by working on his first tracks: to keep motivation and satisfaction high, the result is always visible!

I'll show you how to:

- program and control synthesizers and virtual instruments,
- use microphone and sound card to record your voice and your instruments,
- process sound with effects (plugins) and optimize it for diffusion (mixing and mastering),
- make your songs, from start to the last details.

I also speak Spanish, French, German and Italian.

Would you like to learn how to make "beats", produce music and make your creative ideas audible for people? I will help you and share my knowledge on the subject of "music production" and "beatmaking".
I produce for major and indie artists worldwide (Jacquees, Lil Baby, JoJo, Tyla Yaweh, Shindy, Dru Hill, Pink $ weats, Kalim, reezy, Fast & Furious 9 Soundtrack ... etc.) and collaborate with music producers and creatives the music business. Over the last few years I have been able to gain a lot of valuable experience and develop myself in my field. I am happy to share this knowledge with you and either help you start completely from scratch in the subject of "producing" or give you valuable input on your existing beats and the questions & struggles you may have. I work with Logic Pro X, but any DAW is possible - all you need is a laptop and the necessary software (Ableton, Cubase, FL Studio etc ...) to start!
In terms of genre, I'm in the area of "Urban Pop", RnB and Pop.

I offer personal harmonica lessons in a variety of genres.
The content is entirely based on your interests and is very much oriented towards actual playing and improvising.
With me you can learn everything you need for the blues harp. From the first notes, replaying your favorite songs and special techniques to fluid improvisation and playing together with other musicians.
I'm also happy to convey a solid understanding of the music theory behind the harmonica, but if you don't feel like learning theory, that's no problem for me.
I welcome adults and young people over 12 years of age.

Hello, my name is Pia and I'm a flautist. :) I started learning the flute at the age of 8. I loved it right away, so after music school, I continued my studies at the conservatory in Maribor (Slovenia). I then studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz. In 2024, I completed my bachelor's degree at the Gustav Mahler Private University in Klagenfurt. There, I earned a degree in concert performance and a degree in instrumental pedagogy.
During my studies, I also completed a specialization course in early music, majoring in transverse flute. Therefore, I also offer lessons for beginners on this beautiful baroque instrument.
During my studies, I had several private students with whom I explored the sounds of the flute and various genres (classical, pop, jazz, folk music, improvisation, etc.). My lessons are relaxed and communicative, full of collaborative music-making.
Classes can also take place online.

Beginners are just as welcome as those who want to deepen their knowledge or start playing the flute again after some time! :)
