Online Course: Warren Burt’s Electrosphere
Exploring the Potential of Experimental Techniques and Sound Design in Computer-based Sound Production.
For the first time, MESS offers an online course to people across Australia and overseas taught by veteran artist Warren Burt. This course will introduce you to a series of sounds, ideas and skills designed to expand your sonic palette, allowing you to move beyond the constraints of conventional electronic sound creation. By applying ideas developed over the last 50 years, you will experiment and explore to reveal the vast sonic potential of many free and low-cost software tools you are already familiar with. In addition to gaining facility with various instruments, the course aims to use listening exercises to develop your listening skills and powers of sonic concentration.
