Academy of Crude Arts is a series of art related workshops.

In this first workshop we explore the art form of field recording – the art of capturing your surroundings using microphones and other forms of vibrational sensors.

The goal of the workshop is to establish and explore a mode of listening that may or may not be useful in an artistic practice if you have one, or it might just be nice attitude to life and help you notice your sound environments.

In the workshop we’ll go through:

• the basics of what field recording actually is

• some philosophical attitudes one might explore in connection with the art form – including buddhist non-dualism and some John Berger business

• We’ll do some exercises and recordings

• Listen to lots of inspiring examples of field recordings.

Please note this workshop is not about gear, but still there are a few things that are nice to bring:

• Pen and paper

• A recording device (could be your phone, a tape recorder, a proper field recording device or anything really)

• Headphones for your recording device.

The workshop is led by Mads Kjeldgaard who is a composer, sound artist and developer. For more information, see https://madskjeldgaard.dk.
