In this four-day workshop, Misha will first take you on her journey on how she approaches performative aspects of sound and improvisation as a composer, pianist, analogue synthesizer performer and musical director, then she will be leading a hands-on workshop, individual lessons and rehearsals for you to build new compositions developed from your sketches that we will perform at the final concert in the ACUD Club.
Misha Cvijović will present her work in field of acoustic, electro-acoustic and electronic music as well as diverse formats (contemporary opera, musical theatre, theatre, film) and structural improvisation as a creative element in her music.
In a practical component of the workshop, participants will learn to create, notate and orchestrate music that incorporates both electronic and acoustic elements. They will explore different techniques and writing for different forms of music involving synthesizers and experiment and integrate this knowledge with modern orchestration and performative skills to create new sounds and musical textures.
This workshop is open for composers, sound artists, instrumentalists, singers/ performers, for the second part of the workshop. Participants will need their own instrument(s) (acoustic or electronic), laptop, microphone, sound pedals or audio software so they can record and practice sound synthesis with other resources and can edit and work on their final piece made as a team or individually for the club night. We welcome open software such as audacity, Ableton Live or Logic. Any software where we can edit, record and add eventually sound manipulation via audio effects.
At the end of the course, presentations of the participants works, in the form of concert – for instrumental/vocal electroacoustic works or sound art will be shown at the Kunsthaus Acud Club. Misha will be on the stage, performing with participants as well.
The events will be documented as a radio production to be aired on FRBB 88,4 Berlin School of Sound Radio.
